Key Compliance Requirements for Issuers (FCA, PSD2, EMoney, PCI DSS)

‍

Card issuers operate in a tightly regulated environment. Compliance frameworks such as FCA (UK), PSD2 (EU), EMoney regulations, and PCI DSS standards ensure consumer protection, financial integrity, and secure handling of payment data. These regulations cover areas like anti-money laundering (AML), customer identification (KYC), transaction security, data protection, and operational resilience.

For businesses issuing cards, navigating these requirements can be complex. Non-compliance can result in fines, reputational damage, or loss of operating licenses. Issuers must implement policies, monitoring tools, and reporting mechanisms to meet both regulatory and network standards.
