The EMA frequently responds to government and European consultations on regulation that impacts the e-money and payment services industry. Sometimes, we also express our views on issues that are raised in the public domain where we feel it is important to provide an industry input.
Our publications reflect the views of the EMA as whole; individual members’ views may vary from time to time. The public consultation responses are listed below. For further information on these positions, please contact us.

The EMA responded to HM Treasury draft legislation on Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Levy.
The EMA strongly urge HMT to review the revenue-based model for the levy again, as – according to the definitions of turnover and revenue in the draft legislation – it will have a hugely disproportionate impact on startups in the Fintech and PSP sector, as well as firms that are growing but remain loss-making. This impact is not necessarily reflective of the AML/TF risk posed by these firms either.
