Bankers and financial services executives are asking how recent changes at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will impact the industry. To help assess the situation, Oliver Wyman experts Douglas Elliott, Alina Lantsberg, Ryan Feeley, and Karin Hill Lockovitch hosted a 45-minute briefing on Wednesday, providing perspectives on questions across a range of topics including navigating regulatory ambiguity, CFPB funding, shifting competitive dynamics, and compliance organizations. One key insight: It is essential for risk and compliance leaders to not only reflect on their internal processes and evaluate how they can manage risk in the most efficient manner possible, but to also consider how they need to adjust their practices to support possible shifts in risk appetite. The briefing is part of our ongoing Oliver Wyman Live webinar series providing real-time insights on the Trump administration’s impact on financial services.

Apple has maintained a significant advantage by being the sole application able to access the iPhones near-field communication (NFC) technology, thereby maintaining a competitive edge on contactless payments at point-of-sale (POS) terminals.    Apply Pay accounts for approximately 35% of non-cash POS transactions in certain advanced markets in Europe, generating €300-€500 million in Apple Pay fees.   In anticipation of regulatory action by the European Commission, Apple announced in August 2024 plans to enable third-party access via Host Card Emulation (HCE) in the European Union, mirroring the setup currently available on Android devices. Apple’s NFC access policy will have significant implications across the payment value chain, affecting issuers, acquirers, schemes/wallets, and merchants > https://owy.mn/4hYtbiZ #ApplePay #payments
