Classification

Service
Payment Network System (65%)

The act amends the Payment Services Act 2018 and transposes EU payment directives (2015/2366 and 1998/26), indicating broad payments regulation updates, but the update lacks specific details on which payment services are materially affected.

Clearing and Settlement Infrastructures (60%)

The act implements the Finality Directive (1998/26), which governs settlement finality in payment and securities systems, but the update does not specify settlement infrastructure changes.

Specialism
Regulatory Reporting (65%)

The act amends the Payment Services Act 2018 and implements EU Directive 2015/2366 (PSD2), which governs payment service providers, but the update is a broad legislative collection act affecting 21 financial services laws without specifying which payment-specific provisions were amended.

Supervision (60%)

Low confidence — requires human review. The act implements multiple EU directives including those related to payment services, but the update lacks detail on specific regulatory obligations, making it difficult to assign a precise secondary tag.
