The Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) planned to reduce fraud compensation limits for scam victims from £415,000 to £85,000, aligning with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Consumer watchdog Which? criticized the move, expressing concerns about reduced protections and incentives for payment firms to enhance fraud security measures.
