Share this post

The Bank of England has taken onboard several recommendations from the The Payments Association as part of BoE’s Future of Finance project, led by Senior Advisor Huw van Steenis.

 

London, United Kingdom – The The Payments Association is proud to announce, that several of their suggestions and recommendations on how the future of finance should look like, have been taken onboard by the Bank of England as part of their Review on the outlook for the UK financial system and what it means for the Bank of England.

 

The focus of Bank of England’s review lies on the Aging population, Big data sets, Emerging markets, Low carbon economy, and New Financial technologies.

 

Tony Craddock, Director General of the The Payments Association, said “As the leading membership association in the payments industry, it is heartening to see our recommendations being incorporated in BoE’s vision of the future. The benefits of enriched payment data, easing the transaction process for corporate and consumer payments are at the core of our industry, and our own Project Banking Access is built around these topics. Seeing Bank of England place importance on them is very promising.”

 

Stephen Quinn, Chief Strategy Officer at OpenPayd, commented “As one of Payments Association’s Benefactors we have been working closely together to support this BoE review. It is encouraging to see that the recommendations of the The Payments Association are being incorporated by the Bank of England. Equally as positive is that the BoE considers and values the voice of the Payments Association and its membership; leading the way in improving the transaction process for business and consumers alike.”

 

The Bank of England’s Review on the outlook for the UK financial system and what it means for the Bank of England comes after a two-year review process, spearheaded by Huw van Steenis, Senior Advisor, and can be read in full on BoE’s website.

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
