Executive summary In April 2012, the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI)1 and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) issued the Principles for financial market infrastructures (PFMI).2 In line with the G20’s expectations, CPMI and IOSCO members have committed to adopting the 24 principles (the Principles) and the five responsibilities for authorities (the Responsibilities) included in the PFMI across financial market infrastructure (FMI) types (ie payment systems (PSs), central counterparties (CCPs), central securities depositories (CSDs), securities settlement systems (SSSs), and trade repositories (TRs)). Following the publication of the PFMI, the CPMI and IOSCO agreed to monitor their implementation in 28 jurisdictions with authorities that are members of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and/or the CPMI and/or the IOSCO.3 To this end, the CPMI-IOSCO Steering Group4 established a standing working-level group (the Implementation Monitoring Standing Group (IMSG)) to design, organise and carry out the implementation monitoring assessments.5 The implementation monitoring programme is being carried out at three levels: a Level 1 (L1) assessment of the status of the implementation process, a Level 2 (L2) assessment of the completeness of the implemented framework and its consistency with the PFMI, and a Level 3 (L3) assessment of the consistency in outcomes of such frameworks.6 While in the case of the Principles, L2 and L3 assessments have been done separately, the IMSG considered it more appropriate and efficient to carry out a combined L2 and L3 assessment of the Responsibilities. This report presents the findings of the IMSG’s assessment of the authorities’ implementation of the Responsibilities (the Responsibilities assessment), across all FMI types, in the 28 jurisdictions. The work on the Responsibilities was carried out as a peer review during 2015, based on the status of the implementation measures as at 9 January 2015. Accordingly, assessment ratings for each jurisdiction reflect the implementation measures in place as at 9 January; other measures that were introduced after this date, or other material developments, are noted where relevant but were not considered when assigning ratings of observance. 1 The Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) changed its name to the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) on 1 September 2014. Please note that references to reports published before that date use the Committee’s old name. 2 The April 2012 CPSS-IOSCO Principles for financial market infrastructures can be found on the BIS website at www.bis.org/publ/cpss101.htm and on the IOSCO website at www.iosco.org/library/pubdocs/pdf/IOSCOPD377.pdf. 3 The 28 jurisdictions that are participating in the PFMI implementation monitoring exercise are: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, the European Union, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. 4 The Steering Group comprises a subset of the members of the CPMI and the IOSCO Board, and is responsible for providing operational guidance on behalf of the parent committees on joint CPMI-IOSCO work. 5 The IMSG comprises representatives from 18 jurisdictions that reflect a balance of CPMI and IOSCO members and geographical dispersion, as well as a range of domestic and global FMIs’ supervisors and overseers. 6 To date, the IMSG has completed L1 assessments of all 28 jurisdictions’ implementation of both the Principles and the Responsibilities, across all FMI types, as well as L2 assessments of the implementation of the Principles in respect of CCPs and TRs in the European Union, Japan and the United States. The CPMI and IOSCO recently announced the commencement of the first L3 assessment of the implementation of the Principles; this review will focus on a subset of requirements under the PFMI that relate to financial risk management by CCPs, including certain practices related to governance, stress testing, margin, liquidity, collateral and recovery. This first review will consider outcomes achieved in this area by examining a number of globally and locally active CCPs that clear derivative products (both exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC)). More information is available at www.bis.org/cpmi/info_mios.htm?m=3%7C16%7C599. CPMI-IOSCO – Assessment and review of application of Responsibilities for authorities – November 2015 1 It should be noted that no specific recommendations have been issued in this report to jurisdictions in which gaps have been identified. CPMI-IOSCO nevertheless expects that jurisdictions will implement any necessary measures as soon as appropriate in order to achieve full observance. 1.1 Methodology The IMSG’s approach to the Responsibilities assessment was based on the Principles for financial market infrastructures: Disclosure framework and assessment methodology (AM). In particular, the survey questions on implementation measures were drawn from the AM. Additionally, the rating scale applied was taken from the AM with some modifications to allow for cases in which implementation measures with respect to the regime for TRs were still under development and therefore deemed “Not ready for assessment”. During the assessment, the IMSG had to exercise judgment in some areas to ensure consistency in the approach taken across jurisdictions and FMI types. For instance, in assessing Responsibility D, which states that jurisdictions should adopt the Principles and apply them consistently, the IMSG took the decision to base such ratings on self-assessments by the relevant jurisdictions, as reflected in the second update of the L1 assessment.7 In assessing Responsibility E – on cooperation with other authorities – the IMSG found that, while some jurisdictions were able to provide evidence on the effectiveness of their cross-border cooperative arrangements across all FMI types, many cross-border

Changes to business models and consumer behavior, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have compressed many years’ worth of transformation and digitization into the space of several months. More people and more businesses around the world have access to real-time payments in more forms than ever before. Real-time payments have been truly democratized, several years earlier than previously expected. Central infrastructures were already making swift For consumers, low-value real-time payments mean Regardless of whether real-time schemes are initially progress towards this goal before the pandemic immediate funds availability when sending and conceived to cater to consumer or business needs, intervened, having established and enhanced real- receiving money.

  • ARGENTINA Executive Summary
    Underwritten by CASH AND TREASURY MANAGEMENT COUNTRY REPORT ARGENTINA Executive Summary Banking The Central Bank of Argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina – BCRA) has autonomous status under the BCRA Law of 2003. The central bank is responsible for implementing monetary and financial policy in pursuit of its core objective of preserving the value of the Argentine peso (ARS). The central bank carries out regulatory supervision of the financial sector via the Superintendency of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions (SEFyC). The central bank monitors statistics on cross-border transactions for balance of payments purposes. Both resident and non-resident entities may hold domestic (ARS) and foreign currency accounts locally and abroad. There are currently 62 banks operating in Argentina, of which 49 are privately owned, with the remainder nationally, provincially or municipally owned. There are also 15 finance companies and one credit cooperative. The 2001–2002 economic crisis and currency devaluation resulted in a wide-scale run on the banks by consumers and a withdrawal by a number of foreign banks; customer confidence and foreign investment in the banking sector has taken time to recover. Payments There are three clearing systems for payments authorized by the central bank: one RTGS system, one high-value payment system and one retail clearing system. Public mistrust of the banking sector following the economic crisis of 2001–2002 led to a significant increase in the use of cash for retail and commercial payments. Cash remains an important means of payment, particularly for consumers, although the check is by far the most important non-cash instrument.

  • Competitive Conditions Analysis on the Credit Cards, Debit Cards and Electronic Means of Payment Detailed Summary 1. Legal Frame
    Competitive Conditions Analysis on the Credit Cards, Debit Cards and Electronic means of Payment Detailed Summary 1. Legal Framework 1. In Argentina, the Payment Cards Market is regulated by Act 25,065, modified by Act 26,010 in 2005, known as the “Credit Cards Act” (hereinafter the “LTC” for its Spanish acronym). The LTC establishes that the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA for its Spanish acronym) and the Secretary of Commerce shall act as enforcement authorities under said legislation. 2. In Argentina, there are three different kinds of cards which can be used as payment methods: credit, debit and purchasing cards. The LTC stipulates that while credit and purchasing cards can be issued by a licensed financial institution, debit cards shall only be issued by banks authorized by the BCRA. Therefore, entry barriers for the issuance of debit cards are the same than entering the banking institutions market, being more economically burdensome than the barriers to enter the credit cards market. 3. Additionally, article 15 of the LTC regulates the merchant discount fee that shall be charged in every respect, setting a cap of 3% for credit cards and 1.5% for debit cards. Furthermore, the LTC stipulates that different fees shall not be charged “among businesses acting under the same activity or offering similar products or services”. 2. Economic Analysis 4. The Electronic Payment System Market is defined by the economic literature as a bilateral or two-sided market.1 Therefore, an Electronic Payment System not only provides services to two groups of clients (shops and cardholders), but also has a joint demand, since the service only is valuable if both sides of the market agree on using it.

  • Marcher Gets Close to Users by Targeting Mobile Banking, Android Apps, Social Media, and Email
    ARTICLE Marcher Gets Close to Users by Targeting Mobile Banking, Android Apps, Social Media, and Email Written by: Doron Woolf Date: April 7, 2017 Marcher is an Android banking Trojan, first detected in 2013, that continually evolves to stay active. The longevity and evolution of this malware is not surprising, given that mobile banking malware is the quickest and easiest way to grab money from victims. In fact, the mobile banking malware market is so hot, it grew 400% in 2016, 81% of which targeted Android phones.i That growth is somewhat expected since Android, with over 24,000 implementations, is the most popular smartphone operating system.ii That is a huge number of devices to test and secure, made more difficult by the fact that most Android phones are behind in critical patches and thus are more vulnerable to attack.iii As with any malware campaign, attackers must continually evolve to evade detection of their C&C servers and keep the cash flowing. Marcher inspects its infected devices carefully by using a dedicated, hard-coded configuration in each Android Package Kit (APK), Google’s file format for distributing and installing application software (like mobile banking apps) on the Android OS. Each APK has the ability to target different financial institutions in specific geographical locations. F5 research conducted in March 2017 followed 153 Marcher configuration files to uncover target and activity trends in the worldwide attack campaigns. Among the 153 configuration files, 54 distinct command and control (C&C) servers were detected. Of the 54 distinct C&C servers, 12 of F5.
