Overview
New payment business models, including Digital Payment Token (DPT) services, have also blurred the lines between activities regulated under these two Acts. As such, the Payment Services (PS) Act was enacted in 2019 to streamline the regulation of payment services under a single legislation by combining the MCRBA and the PSOA, and to take into account, new developments in payment services and the various risks they pose. The PS Act will empower the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to regulate payment services for key risks and concerns, such as money-laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF), loss of funds owed to consumers or merchants due to insolvency, technology, and cyber risks.
This course will provide participants with an astute insight and the confidence needed to respond to regulatory requirements under the PS Act and corresponding MAS’s notices and guidelines. Participants will also gain meaningful insights into the importance of having a well-curated compliance and operational risk management strategy to address the regulatory requirements applicable to their payment service business.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the 2-day course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the licensing and regulatory requirements under the PS Act that are applicable to DPT service providers
- Assess the compliance and operational risks concerning DPT services
- Implement compliance and operational risk management programs that commensurate with the regulatory obligations of DPT service providers
- Understand the compliance and operational risk management challenges faced by DPT service providers
Assessment
As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.
Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
