FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is authorised, and in which markets?

United Kingdom: FCA authorised e-money licence. Ireland and Europe: Central Bank of Ireland authorised e-money licence, passported across the EU. Australia: Australian Financial Services Licence. North America: we work through issuing bank partners rather than holding our own licence, which is the standard model in that market.

Program funds are safeguarded under the arrangements that apply in each market, which differ by licence and by banking partner. We provide the detail your procurement and risk teams need as part of scoping.

Responsibility depends on the program and operating model. Fraud controls, monitoring, investigation and escalation responsibilities are defined during program design and agreed before launch. Where EML performs issuer, processing or financial crime functions, the applicable responsibilities are reflected in the program's operating model and contractual arrangements.

No, and they shouldn’t. Identity, verification and screening requirements are determined by the product, customer, program structure, jurisdiction and applicable regulatory requirements. We agree the appropriate approach during program scoping.

Authentication is applied to meet scheme and regulatory requirements in each market, with step up used where the risk warrants it rather than applied uniformly. The aim is to meet the requirement without putting friction in front of customers who do not need it.

Disputes and chargebacks run through structured workflows with evidence handling and scheme submission. Scope depends on the schemes and dispute types in your program, which we confirm during scoping.

Audit trails, monitoring artefacts and reporting outputs are produced from the record of what actually happened. Reporting to your own regulator remains your obligation, and we support it with the evidence.

Yes. Interfaces are built with accessibility and multilingual support, and controls can be tailored to a person's circumstances, so support is delivered safely without removing their independence. This matters most in government and social programs, where the recipient did not choose to be in the program.
