London, United Kingdom Payment Systems Regulator Full time

About the PSR

How payments work affects the society we live in; the challenges faced by the vulnerable; how likely we are to fall victim to fraud; and how easily we can manage our money. Payments underpin our economy.

Behind these payments are several important payment systems. We rely on these systems to support markets, facilitate competition, and drive innovation.

This helps to deliver new products, find new ways to protect people from harm, and deliver services that give people and businesses more choice and control about how to pay and be paid.

We need the technology, the rules governing the use of these systems and the markets they support to all work well. This is where the PSR plays an important role - we are the economic regulator of, and competition authority for, those systems. We protect people and businesses and promote competition and innovation in these systems and the markets that they support.

To achieve this, we have set out in

our Strategy

four strategic priorities:
- Ensure users have continued access to the payment services they rely on and support a choice of payment options- Ensure users are sufficiently protected when using the UK's payment systems- Promote competition between UK payment systems and the markets supported by them; protecting users where that competition is not sufficient- Act to ensure the interbank systems provide the infrastructure, rules and incentives that foster innovation and competition in payments

To meet these objectives the PSR has a range of strong regulatory and competition powers over schemes and their participants. Working in close collaboration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Treasury, the Bank of England, and Competition & Markets Authority (CMA), the PSR leads the way in looking to the future of the payments industry in the interest of the UK economy and consumers.

The PSR became fully operational in 2015. Huge strides have been made in establishing the structure and impact of the PSR on the payments industry. The PSR is a firmly rooted part of the regulatory infrastructure of the UK and has set international precedent as the first regulator of its kind in the world.
- The PSR is an independent economic regulator chaired by Aidene Walsh and led by Managing Director, Chris Hemsley. We are directly accountable to Parliament and funded by the payments industry. Operationally we are an independent subsidiary of the Financial Conduct Authority._
