Finextra Events - 31 Oct 2026DeadlineRegulatory / scheme datePCI SPoC and CPoC give way to MPoC; the standalone 3DS SDK standard sunsets 31 October
Two PCI SSC consolidations land this autumn. Software-based PIN Entry on COTS (SPoC) and Contactless Payments on COTS (CPoC) are being retired in favour of Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC), which covers both PIN entry and contactless acceptance on off-the-shelf devices. Separately, the PCI 3-D Secure SDK Security Standard has a formal sunset from 1 May to 31 October 2026 and becomes a module of the PCI Secure Software Standard. New SoftPOS and 3DS SDK evaluations should target the successor standards.

January 2027
- 18 Jan 2027DeadlineRegulatory / scheme dateTreasury proposes the GENIUS Act issuance rules; only permitted issuers may issue payment stablecoins from 18 January 2027
Treasury's notice of proposed rulemaking (Federal Register, 18 August 2026) implements Section 3 of the GENIUS Act — who may issue, offer and sell payment stablecoins in the US — with a 60-day comment period. The statutory timeline stands: from 18 January 2027 only permitted payment stablecoin issuers (or OCC-registered foreign issuers) may issue for the US market, and from 18 July 2028 digital-asset service providers may not offer non-permitted stablecoins to US persons. A separate FinCEN rule (22 June) sets customer-identification requirements for permitted issuers.
