Blueprint for KYC data sharing in the UK

xxx

The UK's Payment Strategy Forum has delivered a blueprint for the future of the nation's payment system, setting out design and implementation approaches for the construction of a new 'National Payments Architecture'.

From PSF lays down blueprint for new UK payments architecture

Since publishing our Strategy, we have reviewed the approach and agreed on the following detriments as focus areas for the proposed data sharing framework:

  1. Inclusion of bad actors: Obtaining sufficient KYC information to identify bad actors requires the use of multiple external data sources and systems during on-boarding and ongoing due diligence. Incomplete, in-accurate or out-of-date SME customer data hinders the detection of bad actors.

  2. Poor customer experience for good actors: Limited data sharing among the PSPs and other sectors such as utilities and telecommunication providers lead to significant duplication of effort if a customer moves to another provider or extends their products. data hinders the detection of bad actors.

  3. Barrier for small PSPs: Privileged access to SME data can be viewed as a barrier for small and new entrants, narrowing access and weakening competition. data hinders the detection of bad actors.

  4. Inefficiency in the SME KYC process: Customer identification processes can be complex, protracted, and expensive, despite not being a key competitive differentiator for PSPs and providers in other sectors. data hinders the detection of bad actors.

  5. Lack of trust: The fear of fraudulent actors potentially being able to penetrate the digital environment and get access to customer data leads to an erosion of trust in society.data hinders the detection of bad actors.

The plan is to start with SMEs.

new survey results from USA Technologies (USAT) suggest. The payments technology company, which enables electronic payments for self-service machines, compared consumer spending activity at 35 of its vending machines in urban areas with a high concentration of iPhone users between week one and week four of the installation of new digital signage promoting Apple Pay. Consumers made more contactless purchases: The vending machine providers saw an average contactless transaction revenue increase of 89%, implying that consumers are making more mobile payments. This was likely driven by the clear advertisement of Apple Pay. Total transactions increased: Consumers made more purchases overall. This was probably driven by an uptick in mobile payments, given the major increase in contactless transaction revenue. And the vending machines may have attracted many first-time users who were drawn in by the digital advertising of Apple Pay. Boosting awareness is key to unlocking pent-up demand amon...

Alex Todd rather kindly called this a “most lucid explanation of digital identity management” I would highly recommend this presentation to anyone interested in understanding prospective blockchain based identity architectures From David | LinkedIn This is very kind, but as I said in the link, this is thinking out loud and far from a fully-developed solution. We’re working on parts of this for different clients and I can see that there is something there - a genuinely new way of solving some old problems - but it’s early days.

xxx The issue of transparency is going to play a major role in the allocation of an avalanche of global commercial investment into real estate over the next decade. With total sums at stake predicted to rise from US$700 billion to over $1 trillion a year by the mid 2020s, according to JLL, countries and cities which meet investor demands on transparency will be best placed to attract these capital flows.
