Singapore’s Monetary Authority (MAS) has published its final tranche of proposals for regulating Digital Payment Token (DPT) service providers in the country. The measures aim to mitigate potential consumer harm and ensure minimum technology and cyber risk management requirements for DPT service providers.
Business Conduct measures
MAS will also require DPT service providers to discourage cryptocurrency speculation by retail customers by implementing measures such as:
- Conflicts of Interest: DPT service providers will be required to identify, mitigate, and clearly disclose potential and actual conflicts of interest. This includes conflicts arising from their own trading activities, financial interests in listed DPTs, and relationships with third parties.
- Listing Criteria: DPT service providers will be required to publish policies, procedures, and criteria that govern the listing of a DPT. This will provide transparency to customers and prevent the listing of DPTs that may pose risks to consumers.
- Customer Complaints: DPT service providers will be required to establish effective policies and procedures to handle customer complaints and resolve disputes. This includes providing timely responses to complaints, providing clear explanations of decisions, and ensuring that complaints are handled fairly and consistently.
