The Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) has made more adjustments to their work programme, originally set out in their Annual Plan 2020/21 (Log-in to view full update).

Key changes of note are that the publication of the interim report on the Card Acquiring Market Review has been further delayed, from June to “Quarter 3 2020, followed by an extended period of consultation and stakeholder engagement.”

Also, the PSR Strategy consultation, which had been planned with a launch event and roadshows beginning in May with responses before the summer, will instead now be launching as a period of informal, digital engagement on key strategic themes starting from June, to be followed by the draft strategy and period of formal consultation.
