MAS forms e-payment user protection guide

Financial institutions will be required to notify users of their e-payments.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) launched a public consultation on proposed guidelines to protect users of electronic payments (e-payments).

According to a press release, the proposed guidelines aim to encourage wider adoption of e-payments by setting standards on the responsibilities of financial institutions (FI) and e-payment users.

In the new guidelines, individuals and micro-enterprises should expect FIs to notify them of all their e-payment transactions. FIs will be expected to set clear resolution processes for unauthorised or erroneous payment transactions.

The Guidelines also set out the responsibilities of e-payments users, including good security practices they should adopt to protect their passwords and e-payment accounts.

The public consultation will run from 13 February to 16 March 2018.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
