🔐Consumer protection is a cornerstone of a regulator's purpose. As consumers increasingly transact and move money using digital devices and less frequently use cash, the regulatory framework and support for consumers has had to adapt. Pay.UK, in its role as the UK's payments standards body, worked in close collaboration with the Payments Systems Regulator, wider regulatory bodies and over 1,400 payment services providers, to combat rising payment fraud, and enhance consumer protection.    Pay.UK successfully delivered the expanded Confirmation of Payee (CoP) and Authorised Push Payment (APP) reimbursement rules in Q4 of 2024. Since then, other markets have launched equivalent initiatives to protect their consumers and enable safer, smarter payments. Colehouse helped Pay.UK to successfully deliver the CoP and APP programmes to achieve positive recognition from industry participants.    Read more about the initiative and its outcomes here. #Colehouse

Well done the team who delivered this at Pay.UK, a service that benefits so many - well deserved recognition to all involved - congratulations!

🏛️ The Colehouse 6 Pillars to Integration Success 🔄 Integration programmes are multi-faceted and complex. Integration in all its forms brings together technology, people, processes, culture, and products. Stakeholders have a broad range of different interests and measures of success. Regulated businesses face an additional challenge of approval and supervision. The breadth of integration scenarios spans complementary businesses joining forces, ‘tuck-in’ additional capabilities, and complex redesign and de-duplication efforts. We see a recent rise in numbers of ‘non-integrated’ acquisitions also, where brands co-exist. 📈 Delivering value from integration requires structure and expertise. The statistics show that less than 20% of integrations achieve the anticipated synergy benefits. Those that do take a structured approach to planning, are clear on priorities for change and stability, and communicate relentlessly to align and engage teams. Integration is an intense and extensive activity. Combining the best talent from within the business with external expertise leads to improved and accelerated outcomes. Too often we see lower and later returns due to a capability deficit in key programme skills. 📊 Colehouse's proven playbook helps our clients to achieve anticipated integration outcomes. We see three key elements that drive integration success. A strategic vision that sets out a clear roadmap for the integrated business with ‘snapshot’ interim states, a Design Authority that assesses and adjusts to the impact of decisions on agreed outcomes, and a Delivery Management Office that reports an accurate ‘single source of truth’ for the programme. Our proven integration playbook combines these elements and sets out 6 pillars for success. #Colehouse #Integration #Consulting #PostMergerIntegration
