Following Royal Assent, the PSR will have the powers to deliver an effective reimbursement requirement, and the Government believes this will ensure more consistent and comprehensive reimbursement for APP scam victims.</p><p> </p><p>In its recent consultation on mandatory APP scam reimbursement, the PSR has proposed requiring all banks and other payment service providers sending payments over the Faster Payments system to reimburse APP scam victims, including requiring that vulnerable customers are reimbursed without exception. The Government looks forward to hearing the outcomes of this consultation.</p><p> </p><p>It is right that all industries at risk of facilitating fraud should be prioritising protecting their customers, and the Government is taking steps to ensure that is the case, including through the Online Safety Bill.
