Deloitte Webinar Series for Payment Service Providers

Key regulations and available regulatory compliance tools

The new Payment Services Act (“PS Act”) which commenced on 28 January 2020 is an enhancement to the regulatory framework for payment services in Singapore, aimed at strengthening consumer protection and promote confidence in the use of e-payments. With the transition to an activity-based licensing framework and a broadened scope of regulated activities, payment service institutions inevitably need to enhance key processes and respective policies to comply with the applicable requirements set out under the PS Act.

Join us in this webinar series where we will discuss the key regulatory requirements in the new PS Act, touch on integrated and customised service offering, and share the available regulatory compliance and reporting tools to address your payment business needs and ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements on an on-going basis.
