PSA publishes new Code and statement

The new Code will enable a new approach to regulation that will raise standards, prevent harm, be simpler to comply with and be underpinned by smarter enforcement.

We have made a number of changes to the Code that we originally consulted on, including:

• amending the wording to some Standards to add clarity and give further certainty
• removing the requirement for an annual re-opt for subscriptions and replacing it with an annual subscription reminder
• re-introducing the SKIP function for recurring donations
• replacing reference to phone-paid transactions only occurring over “correctly validated HTTPS connections” to “correctly validated and encrypted connections”.
