## Question put to the AI subject

You are advising the Chief Risk Officer of PayLink Asia, a regional hub connecting three domestic fast payment systems across borders. The CRO is preparing for a board presentation on compliance with international standards. She has asked you to draft a 1–2 page regulatory landscape briefing covering the CPMI's October 2024 final report on cross-border FPS interlinking governance and oversight. The briefing should explain what the CPMI expects of hub operators and overseers, covering the key governance decisions and the specific oversight recommendations — listing each of them so the board can track compliance against the full set. The board expects substantive depth on what the framework actually requires, not just general description.

## AI subject's verbatim answer

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE BRIEFING
To: Chief Risk Officer, PayLink Asia
From: Regulatory Affairs
Re: CPMI Final Report on FPS Interlinking Governance and Oversight (d223, October 2024) — board compliance briefing
Date: For Board meeting

1. WHAT THE REPORT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS TO PAYLINK ASIA

On 15 October 2024 the BIS Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures (CPMI) published its final report 'Linking fast payment systems across borders: governance and oversight' (BIS publication d223). The report is a deliverable under the G20 Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-border Payments (Building Block 13). It follows the CPMI's October 2023 interim report (d219), which set out 10 initial considerations for stakeholder consultation, and reflects the responses received during the consultation closed on 31 December 2023.

PayLink Asia, as a multilateral hub operator linking three domestic FPS, is squarely within the population of arrangements the report is designed to inform. The report is non-binding guidance addressed to (i) FPS owners/operators developing the governance and risk management of an interlinking arrangement, and (ii) overseers (central banks and relevant authorities) defining their oversight approach for the participating FPS or for a separate hub entity.

2. INTERLINKING MODELS WITHIN SCOPE

The CPMI's framework recognises three principal interlinking models, all within scope of d223:
  (a) bilateral link — a direct connection between two component FPS;
  (b) hub-and-spoke (multilateral) — multiple FPS connected through a common hub entity (PayLink Asia's model);
  (c) single access point — participants in one FPS gain access to a foreign FPS via a single gateway entity that is itself a participant in the foreign system.

The report applies across these models but recognises that governance and oversight implications differ — most acutely for hub-and-spoke arrangements, where a separate legal entity may be required.

3. KEY GOVERNANCE DECISIONS FOR OPERATORS

The report frames operator-level governance around five clusters of decisions that the Board should be able to evidence:

  (i) Legal set-up — choice of governing law, enforceability of rules across participating jurisdictions, and treatment of finality, netting and insolvency.
  (ii) Ownership and operational structure — whether the arrangement is owned by participating FPS operators, by a separate joint venture, or by a third-party service provider; allocation of operational responsibilities.
  (iii) Governing body composition and decision-making — type of governing body, voting rights, conflict-of-interest management, independence of risk committees.
  (iv) Stakeholder engagement — mechanisms for participant FPS, PSPs, end users and authorities to feed into rule changes.
  (v) Risk management — credit, liquidity, settlement, operational, cyber, FX and AML/CFT risk allocation across the arrangement and component FPS.

4. OVERSIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AUTHORITIES

The d223 framework sets out a structured set of recommendations directed at overseers of FPS interlinking arrangements. Based on the published framework and its evolution from the interim report's 10 initial considerations, the final report consolidates these into a set of approximately ten oversight recommendations (the final report restructures and refines the interim 10 considerations rather than expanding the count substantially). The recommendations cluster under the following heads, each of which the Board should track:

  R1. Cooperative oversight arrangements among relevant authorities of the component FPS and, where applicable, the hub.
  R2. Identification of the lead overseer or lead authority for the arrangement.
  R3. Information-sharing protocols among authorities, including incident notification.
  R4. Clarity on the legal basis for oversight of the cross-border arrangement and of any separate hub entity.
  R5. Assessment of governance arrangements against the operator-level decisions identified in the report.
  R6. Oversight of risk management frameworks across credit, liquidity, settlement, operational/cyber, FX and AML/CFT risks.
  R7. Oversight of business continuity, resilience and recovery arrangements at hub and component level.
  R8. Approach to applying relevant international standards proportionately — including, where the arrangement (or a separate hub entity) is or becomes systemically important, the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMI).
  R9. Engagement with the operator on material changes (new participants, new currencies, new functionalities).
  R10. Periodic review of the oversight approach as the arrangement scales.

5. POSITIONING THE PFMI

The PFMI are not automatically mandatory simply because an arrangement is cross-border. Whether and how PFMI apply depends on (i) whether the arrangement (or a separate hub) qualifies as an FMI under the responsible authority's framework, and (ii) the authority's own determinations on systemic importance. The CPMI framework encourages proportionate application and cooperative determination among authorities.

6. BOARD COMPLIANCE TRACKING CHECKLIST

The Board should establish a tracker against R1–R10 above plus the five operator-level decision clusters, with named owners, evidence artefacts (legal opinions, governance charters, risk policies, incident MoUs) and review cadence.

Prepared on the basis of the BIS d223 final report (October 2024) and accompanying CPMI press release of 15 October 2024.

## Verbatim regulator text contradicting the answer

> Recommendation 1: An FPS and/or the hub entity that establishes an interlinking arrangement with (an)other FPS should identify, monitor and manage link-related risks. [...] Recommendation 7: The interlinking arrangement should meet the service level requirements agreed upon among the component FPS or (if applicable) determined by the hub entity.
