Shares in Australian fintech firm EML Payments plunged almost 46 per cent in Sydney on Wednesday as it emerged the Irish Central Bank had raised anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism concerns at its Irish-founded Prepaid Financial Services.
EML said in a statement that the Central Bank may restrict the activities of its Irish-regulated subsidiary PFS Card Services (Ireland) Limited, which is responsible for PFS’s European business and accounted for 27 per cent of group revenues in the first three months of the year.

It is the fourth largest ever UK longevity swap
The Prudential Insurance Company of America (PICA) has concluded a £6bn longevity reinsurance deal, with Zurich Assurance acting as an intermediary on a pass-through basis.

An unnamed “large” UK pension scheme has transferred the longevity risk associated with £6bn of pensioner liabilities via a reinsurance deal with the international reinsurance business of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc. (PFI).
The transaction closed last month and used an independent UK-regulated insurer, Zurich Assurance, as intermediary. The transaction used a “pass-through” structure, meaning the longevity and default risks are able to be passed through to the insurer.
According to advisers Willis Towers Watson and CMS, this was the first time PFI had transacted through a structure of this kind.
