Major rule change for firms like PayPal and Revolut to protect millions of customers' cash
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of people using payment firms will see their cash better protected due to a major rule change. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is set to enforce new practices to ensure shoppers are offered bigger refunds, and with fewer delays, if a payment firm goes bust. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The FCA is shaking up its rules for payment firms from next May Credit: Getty The new rules, affecting those using firms like PayPal, Revolut and Wise, come into force from May 7, 2026. The rules will oblige payment firms to prove customer's money is protected through monthly reports. Firms will also have to be audited once a year to ensure they are safeguarding funds, carry out daily checks to keep records of funds and put risk management practices in place so customers' cash is protected should they go out of business. The FCA said it is giving industry nine months until the new rules kick in so it has enough time to prepare. Read more on Money ALL CHANGE Major British bank with 5million customers could disappear after sale to rival It also said the audit rule will not apply to firms holding less than £10,000 in customer funds. Funds held by payment and e-money firms are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which entitles you to compensation of up to £85,000 if a financial services firm fails. Instead, they are responsible for safeguarding customers' funds themselves. But this has historically led to money being lost or delays in refunds being issued when firms have gone out of business. A number of payment firms went bust between 2018 and 2023, leaving customers short of cash. Firms that became insolvent, when a business cannot afford to repay its debts, over this five-year period had average shortfalls of 65% of their customers' funds. I chase refunds for a living - how to get your money back Matthew Long, director of payments and digital assets, FCA, said: "People rely on payment firms to help manage their financial lives. But too often, when those firms fail, their customers are left out of pocket. "Most of those who responded to our consultation agreed we need to raise standards to protect people's money and build trust, but any changes needed to be proportionate, especially for smaller firms. "We'll be watching closely to see if firms seize the opportunity and make effective improvements that their customers rightly deserve – this will help us to determine whether any further tightening of rules is necessary." It comes after the FCA launched a consultation looking at safeguarding practices among payment firms last September. Firms were given until December that year to offer their thoughts on the consultation. Payments firms, also known as payment service providers (PSP), are third-party companies that facilitate electronic payments for businesses through various payment methods. Customer use of them has risen in recent years. The FCA's 2024 Financial Lives Survey revealed that the percentage of people using them had grown from 1% in 2017 to 12% in 2024. It also found roughly one in 10 e-money holders in the UK was using e-money accounts as their main day-to-day transactional account. The Sun asked PayPal, Revolut and Wise to comment. FCA consulting on car finance mis-selling compensation scheme MILLIONS of drivers are set to get £950 car financing compensation after the FCA launched a consultation. The regulator confirmed on Sunday it will consult on a redress scheme for motorists stung by extra charges and interest. This follows the Supreme Court's decision last Friday to overturn a ruling that accused companies of breaking the law by not telling borrowers about "hidden" commission payments. Claims about "commission disclosure complaints" impact up to 99% of car finance agreements. However, the UK's highest court sided with the banks, meaning they avoided the possibility of having to pay compensation to millions of drivers over these complaints. Despite this, drivers who took out personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase agreements may still be eligible for compensation, along with those who were subjected to "excessive" commission charges. This is because the FCA has been investigating and considering a financial redress scheme for car finance agreements made before 2021. These claims focus on "discretionary commission arrangements" (DCAs), which applied to 40% of car finance deals. Under DCAs, brokers and dealers could increase the interest rates charged to borrowers without informing them. By doing this, they earned higher commissions. The financial watchdog has now confirmed plans to consult on an industry-wide compensation scheme. This consultation is set to begin by early October, and if the scheme is approved, the first payments could be made in 2026. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

World's longest suspension bridge plan 2,000-years in making FINALLY signed off… and it will connect two hols hotspots
The total cost of the project is estimated at an eye watering £12billion BRIDGE TOO FAR World's longest suspension bridge plan 2,000-years in making FINALLY signed off… and it will connect two hols hotspots Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PLANS for the world's longest suspension bridge have been signed off after over 2,000 years in the making. The impressive structure will connect holiday hotspot mainland Italy with the island of Sicily - currently only accessible by ferry. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The proposed design promises to withstand earthquakes and gale force winds 6 the bridge will connect Sicily to Italy's mainland 6 Once finished, the bridge will stretch 3.6 kilometres (2.2 miles), surpassing Turkey's Çanakkale Bridge as the world's longest single-span suspension bridge. It will be supported by two monumental steel towers - standing a mega 399 metres tall - and be fit with a roadway platform able to withstand powerful wind speeds of 292km/h (181mph). The total cost of the project is estimated at an eye watering £12billion (€13.5 billion), with the European Union agreeing to fund 50 per cent of the executive design costs for rail infrastructure — around £20million. The Italian government has vowed to manage costs carefully, including a safeguard clause that allows the cancellation of works if expenses exceed forecasts by 50 per cent. Read more on World MOUNTAIN SLICED Moment mountain is cut IN HALF to build highway & world's highest bridge The idea of linking Sicily to the Italian mainland dates back to ancient Rome, when Consul Metellus supposedly connected barrels and boats to transport war elephants across the strait in 252 BCE. Since then, various attempts have been proposed but stalled, including recent efforts in 2009, which were abandoned in 2013. Now, under the leadership of Italy's right-wing government and Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini, the plan is back on track. 'The bridge will bring work, wealth, beauty, and will save tons of CO2 in the air, making it one of the greenest bridges in the world,' Salvini said. The government has also emphasized the bridge's potential to reduce Mafia influence in the region by creating jobs and economic opportunities. But the Strait of Messina — linking the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas — poses significant engineering and environmental challenges. Protesters hang off bridge in major demo ahead of Trump's Scotland visit Known for its strong currents and seismic activity, the area was the site of a devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake in 1908, which killed over 100,000 people. The bridge will feature three vehicle lanes in each direction, as well as railway lines to boost transport efficiency. Officials estimate the project will create over 100,000 jobs and significantly ease congestion on the region's busy ferry systems. Cargo arriving in Sicily could also be transferred directly to trains, potentially speeding up trade routes between southern Italy and northern Europe. HISTORY OF THE PLAN THE idea of linking Sicily to the Italian mainland dates back to ancient Rome, when Consul Metellus supposedly connected barrels and boats to transport war elephants across the strait in 252 BCE. A couple of millennia later, in the 1860s, Italy's King victor Emmanuel outlined his own vision to build the bridge to symbolise the country's unity. Later, fascist dictator Benito Mussolini announced his own ambitions with the bridge - calling for it to be built after the war as a message to the growing secessionist movement in 1942. Since, the average Italian prime minister has retained power less than half the appointed five-year term, reports The Atlantic. The government's frequent change of hands has set back construction of the bridge. The current government insists this project will lay 'the first stone' in turning a Roman dream into reality. 'The transshipment of ferries costs more each year than building the bridge,' Salvini claims, pointing to the long-term economic benefits. If construction proceeds as planned, the Strait of Messina bridge could be operational by 2032, transforming connectivity and realising a vision that has endured through centuries of dreams and delays. According to WeBuild, the infrastructure firm that won the bid to build the bridge, preliminary work could begin later this summer with construction due to start next year. 6 The Messina Strait Bridge will become the world's longest suspension bridge, spanning 2.2 miles 6 It will feature three vehicle lanes in each direction plus railway lines
