Guide to payment regulations
Understand the impact of regulations related to the provision of payment and e-money services with this guide
From regulated scope to licensing requirements and more
Payments have seen rapid evolution across the world, bolstered by advanced developments in technology and the exponential growth of fintechs.
While the fintechs bring new forms of payment innovations, the regulators are also keeping up by reviewing, updating – and in some instances introducing – payment regulations to ensure a safe and secure financial ecosystem and overall economic stability.
Here to help
The regulations that govern the provision of payment services tend to vary across jurisdictions. Corporates and fintechs that aspire to provide or facilitate such financial activities often find it challenging to interpret and understand the regulatory developments.
In our Guide to Payment Regulations, jointly developed in collaboration with A&O Shearman, you can look forward to an overview of prevailing regulatory frameworks and licensing schemes in selected jurisdictions. A Q&A section has been added to address key questions corporate and fintech clients typically face when assessing business activities that may fall within the regulated scope.
