"無接觸支付將在三月取消100英鎊限額後大幅增加"

无接触卡限额将于三月份取消,允许自定义支付

英国数百万人将能够根据最近由金融行为监管局(FCA)宣布的消息,自行设置无接触卡支付限额,甚至可以不设限额。该措施将于三月份生效,允许银行和卡提供商设置最大单笔支付金额或无限额,无需输入四位数字PIN。

金融行为监管局鼓励银行允许卡持有人自行设置个人限额或完全关闭无接触功能,一些银行已经提供此功能。尽管金融行为监管局自己的调查显示,消费者和行业代表对此次变更的兴趣不大,但该决定仍然被做出。

金融行为监管局的这一举动旨在为无接触卡用户提供更大的灵活性和便利性,他们可以选择自己的支付限额或完全退出无接触支付。根据金融行为监管局的说法,这一变化将使卡持有人能够更好地管理自己的财务并降低未经授权的交易风险。

自2015年以来实施的100英镑无接触卡限额近年来一直是争论的话题。有些人认为这是必要的安全措施,而其他人则认为这是无接触支付便利性的障碍。金融行为监管局决定取消限额可能会受到那些重视无接触交易灵活性和速度的人的欢迎。

这一变化并不是强制性的,银行可以自行决定是否提供可自定义的支付限额。然而,金融行为监管局正在敦促银行利用新的规则,并为客户提供对无接触支付的更多控制权。

根据金融行为监管局的说法,取消无接触卡限额是现代化英国支付系统、使其更为用户友好的更广泛努力的一部分。金融行为监管局的调查发现,虽然一些消费者担心无接触支付的潜在风险,但许多其他人认为更大的灵活性和便利性是有益的。

金融行为监管局的公告得到了一些消费者团体的欢迎,他们认为这是朝着更大金融包容性和灵活性的正确方向迈出的一步。然而,其他人对取消无接触卡限额的潜在风险提出了担忧,特别是对于可能更容易受到未经授权的交易影响的弱势消费者。

金融行为监管局决定取消无接触卡限额将于三月份生效,银行将被授予设置自己的最大单笔支付金额或无限额的权力。虽然这一变化可能会受到许多无接触卡用户的欢迎,但仍有待观察银行将如何实施新的规则以及它们将如何影响消费者行为。

在一份声明中,金融行为监管局表示:“我们致力于使支付更方便、更安全地为消费者所用。通过赋予银行设置自己的无接触支付限额的权力,我们为卡持有人提供了更大的灵活性和选择。”

"Amazon Blocks 1,800 Suspected North Korean Operatives from Job Applications"

Amazon has thwarted over 1,800 job applications from suspected North Korean agents attempting to secure remote IT positions using stolen or fake identities, a trend that is likely widespread across the industry according to the company's chief security officer. This sophisticated tactic involves operatives hijacking dormant LinkedIn accounts and targeting genuine software engineers, with the ultimate goal of funneling wages back to fund the regime's weapons programs. Amazon is emphasizing the importance of robust screening measures, including AI tools and staff verification, to prevent such scams.
