Money Transmission businesses providing relevant services must comply with Section 149A of the Consumer Credit Act, 1995 (as amended) ('the CCA') which provides that you shall not impose a new charge or increase an existing charge for a service provided to a customer or a group of customers, without the prior approval of the Central Bank of Ireland (the 'Central Bank').

The Central Bank may impose sanctions on a firm pursuant to Part IIIC of the Central Bank Act, 1942 ('the Act') if, having concluded an inquiry, it determines that the firm has committed a contravention as defined by section 33AN of that Act.

Please see attached note on Section 149A of the CCA.
