PSR Fraud Liability Shift: Are You Ready?


New PSR requirements split the cost of the victim (Authorized Push Payment) reimbursement 50-50 between sending and receiving institutions.

Financial criminals circumvent controls by manipulating customers into authorizing fraudulent transactions. In an instant payments environment where FIs and PSPs have only seconds to transfer funds, it’s no surprise that Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud is a major challenge for financial institutions.
