Together, we can make a Difference

Financial Crime

The Financial Crime working group has the specific objective of delivering community-driven thought-leadership on the challenges of, and solutions for, problems posed by fraud and financial crime, as well as lobbying key stakeholders on financial crime-related regulation impacting members of the association.

What is a working group?

The Payments Association’s working groups are comprised of industry experts from across the payments chain, who share the mission of driving industry change to shape the future payments landscape and improve the industry on behalf of members of the association. Being a member of a working group is a fantastic opportunity to grow your network and gain valuable industry insights. All working group members are representatives of organisations with The Payments Association membership.

Each working group consists of a Core Committee and Supporter Members.

  • Committee members are engaged and active participants who commit to making regular contributions to outputs and monthly meetings. They are expected to commit 1-2 hours per month towards the working group.
  • Supporter members attend one meeting a quarter and receive the meeting notes from the other meetings.

Strategy and approach

Our mission

“This working group gives professionals with the passion and enthusiasm to reduce financial crime the opportunity to network with, share expertise and learn from like-minded people and invited external guests. We produce thought leader guides on crucial financial crime topics for members and influencers in the sector. A fantastic opportunity to help determine policies to defeat criminals who increasingly use technology to conceal their activities. We aim to ensure the good guys keep one step ahead.”

Outputs

The Financial Crime Working Group supported TPA’s lobbying campaign to highlight the systemic issue of fraud, particularly APP fraud, in the U.K. This also included championing members concerns around the development of a new reimbursement framework, as set out by the PSR. 

The Financial Crime Working Group launched their content programme exploring the role of data sharing in preventing financial crime. The programme included a whitepaper, podcast and webinar exploring the barriers to data sharing in the UK, related legislation and best practice for data sharing arrangements from around the globe. 

The Financial Crime working group published a whitepaper explaining the processes of identification and authentication, presenting an overview of the technologies and suppliers that can help businesses know who their customers under the threat of criminal activity such as money laundering, financing terrorism and fraud.

Chryssi Chorafa, CEO and Founder of Starlix and Francisco Mainez, Financial Crime Lead at Lucinity, join Nick Fleetwood, Head of Data Services at Form3 to reflect on findings from The Payments Association’s report ‘Data Sharing to Prevent Economic Crime’. Thanks to Form3, benefactor to TPA’s Financial Crime Working Group.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
