The Government recognises that fraudulent transactions of this manner, commonly known as Authorised Push Payment (APP) scams, can significantly impact those affected.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2015, the Government set up the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) with a statutory objective to, among other things, ensure that payment systems are operated in a way that takes account of users\u2019 needs. The PSR is addressing these kinds of scams as part of a programme of work announced in December 2016, following a Which? Super-complaint on the issue.<\/p>
<\/p>
In April 2018, the PSR established a steering group of consumer representatives and banks to draft an industry code to help protect consumers against these kinds of scam. The code was published for consultation in September 2018, with the intention for the final code to be in place in 2019. The aim of this code is to reduce the incidence of APP scams, and it will set out rules on how industry should reimburse consumers in certain scenarios.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is right that industry takes the necessary steps to protect consumers against this kind of fraud. The Government supports the work the PSR is driving forward to tackle these kinds of scams in conjunction with industry, consumer groups and other regulatory and government bodies.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-28T13:04:16.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Bank Services: Fraud"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to tackle online scams which rely on the individual voluntarily transferring money.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4519", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cartlidge"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Suffolk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "James Cartlidge"} ], "uin" : "194127"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011454", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011454/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Under Article 143 of the draft Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will continue to stand behind a share of the EU\u2019s contingent liabilities related to financial operations up to the date of withdrawal. These contingent liabilities are reported to Parliament in the Consolidated Fund accounts as having a remote probability of crystallising.
