  PSR is clearly a Drunk Under Lamp Post regulation triggered by votebank politics. It will be allowed to die a natural death after UK elections are over. Accordingly, PSR's regulatory stance will not be adopted even in UK. Fraud v Scam: Who Is Liable For Cybercrime

  I disagree with Jonathan Frost - yes there will be further friction within UK faster payments which will impact genuine payments required by consumers. I do not believe this will deter fraudsters from targeting this payment channel as the reimbursement scheme is open to first party fraud. This can occur when a fraud ring controls both ends of the payment.  First party fraud is common in the US with fraudsters abusing the automated clearing house (ACH) reimbursement scheme. As per this articles introduction fraudsters often repackage an "old attack with a new bow" - this is why there are a myriad of tools aimed at mitigating 1st party ACH fraud risk including Plaid.
