The CBI's RSO is a direct statement of supervisory intent. This briefing covers all five focus areas, Finvisor's independent assessment, and the questions your Board, CEO, and Head of Compliance should be asking now.
The CBI's first dedicated CASP chapter signals a regulator in active supervisory build-out. Six focus areas, key messages mapped to MiCAR obligations, and questions for Board, CEO, and Head of Compliance.
After a Financial InnovateHER panel on PSD3 and the Payment Services Regulation, Simon McFeely sets out how he would prioritise DORA, AMLR, Instant Payments, the PSR and PSD3 over the next six months, and why they belong on one roadmap.
In November 2024 the Central Bank fined BlueSnap Payment Services Ireland €324,240 for safeguarding, notification and reconciliation failures. With a PCF Head of Safeguarding now in place and safeguarding a 2026 supervisory priority, the lessons are more relevant than ever.
The Central Bank has set its stall out for 2026: fraud governance, AML effectiveness, DORA in practice, the Consumer Protection Code, financial resilience and wind-down credibility. Our first read of the Outlook, including the harder conversation about funding, AI and whether your wind-down plan is fit for purpose.
The Central Bank's 2026 Outlook contains a dedicated CASP chapter for the first time. Ten CASPs were authorised in 2025; the 2026 programme is about finding out how well they work. AML/CFT rated amber/red, custody conditions to be followed up, targeted DORA work, and a warning that supervisors read your website too.
The Central Bank's 2026 Regulatory and Supervisory Outlook sets out five focus areas for payment and e-money institutions with more directness than prior editions. Safeguarding, financial crime, wind-down credibility, DORA and governance all carry planned supervisory activity in 2026. The CBI is moving from observation to intervention.
