On January 14, 2019, the Payment Services (PS) Act in Singapore was passed into law. Under the new law, which will come into effect at a future date, Singapore’s current regulatory framework for payments will be consolidated into a unified, expanded framework. The PS Act is supposed to provide a forward-looking and flexible framework for regulating payment service providers, enhance the scope of regulated activities, and take a risk-based approach and calibrate regulations according to risks, with the ultimate aim of protecting competition and promoting efficiency. The PS Act will affect Singapore’s current regulated payment services, licensing regime and payment systems.
