Why this matters

The primary affected firms are cash-centre operators, cash-in-transit companies, financial institutions and retailers, which map most closely to Payment Provider and Bank. Sector is Payments & E-Money because banknotes and cash distribution fall within payments infrastructure. No consultation deadline or new rule is stated, so urgency is null.
