Description
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is establishing a contractual mechanism for the Payments Systems Regulator (PSR), who are seeking to procure a supplier to deliver an independently conducted evaluation of its key policies on Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud – particularly focussing on the reimbursement requirement. This is principally an impact evaluation, though in addition to the analysis of the policies’ impacts we require the chosen supplier to provide an independent view on the effectiveness of the policies at achieving their target outcomes. The final analysis and independent view of the policies’ effectiveness will be published in the form of a report.
