Payment Systems Regulator

Payments are an essential part of daily life and it’s the PSR’s job to ensure that the systems underpinning them work well for everyone.

We want everyone to have access to payment services they need – and to be sufficiently protected when using them. In our new strategy, we set out our priorities and what we aim to achieve over the next five years.

The strategy recognises areas where payments markets and systems are working effectively, but also highlights where more work is needed. It brings together our ideas for how payment systems and services should adapt for the future and focuses on our core role - to protect the interests of people and businesses, and to promote effective competition and innovation in payments.
