THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONET TRANSFER & PAYMENTS INDUSTRY FOR 2015

Here are the ten most important issues faced by the International Money Transfer & Payments (IMT&P) Industry in 2015. I put this together as a way of reflecting on the significant issues of 2015 as well as to analyze trends for 2016. These issues are not listed in order of importance. They are based on my own personal opinions and ideas which have been discussed with colleagues in the firm and within the industry.

HUGO CUEVAS-MOHR MOHR WORLD CONSULTING

Bank discontinuance and de-risking of MSBs/MTOs/money transmitters is still

a major global problem industry-wide, but we think there has been a slight shift in the discussion with reports, regulations, and statements being published that gives us a sense of the issue moving forward; the small positive steps might seem irrelevant to a number of companies caught with limited or no banking relationships.

The World Bank report entitled, “Report on the G20 Survey on De-Risking Activities in the Remittance Market,” published in November 2015, must be read by everyone in the industry. In total, 13 governments, 25 banks, and 82 MTOs completed the survey. One key statement in the report is the fact that “Neither banks nor MTOs cited AML/CFT-related violations or sanctions by MTOs as one of the top five reasons for account closures.”

In the European case the Revised Directive on Payment Services (PSD2), published in November 2015, contains a very important regulation that cautions banks to provide “... payment accounts services on an objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate basis.” It adds that, “Such access shall be sufficiently extensive as to allow payment institutions to provide payment services in an unhindered and efficient manner.” (Check chapters 35 and 36.)

The US House of Representatives voted Feb 4 to end Operation Choke Point, the Department of Justice initiative to use regulatory agencies to force banks to close the accounts of customers, individuals & businesses suspected of engaging in illegal activity (AML, fraud) without due process and with no need for open accusations or legal charges brought forward. The bill would prevent banking regulators from forcing

banks to close the accounts unless they have material cause.

And FATF (Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering) just published a report that all Compliance Officers of this industry must read, entitled Guidance for a Risk-Based Approach for Money or Value Transfer Services. The report states that“ risk-based approach requires that measures to combat ML/TF are commensurate with the risks. Such measures should not necessarily result into the categorisation of all MVTS providers as inherently high-risk.” It also has a section on Access of MVTS to Banking Services, that urges banks to analyze MTVS one by one from a risk base approach (RBA). It states: “It is important that banks do not resort to the wholesale termination or exclusion of customer relationships within the MVTS sector without being informed by a proper risk assessment.” We hope banks face the issue head-on and work hand-in-hand with the industry.
