Payment Services Regulations
The Payment Services Regulations (PSRs) 2017 was introduced in 2018 and set the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) in motion. This regulation applies to payment services provided by an establishment in the UK.
PSD2 aims to protect consumers, make payments more secure, promote the development of online mobile payments, encourage lower payment prices and level the playing field for Payment Service Providers (PSPs).
Our Payment Services Regulations Course explains the FCA's regulations that apply to the payment services business in the UK.
