Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) & Payment Systems Regulator (PSR)
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) The FCA is creating a fair and more resilient financial system and establishing more transparent relationships between financial services and customers; building trust in financial markets, protecting vulnerable consumers and supporting international competitiveness and growth of the UK economy. The organisation is currently on an exciting journey as it builds on a significant transformation agenda across people, process, and technology to become a more forward-thinking, proactive regulator. The aim is to use data more effectively to drive better regulatory decisions and build greater cohesion across their broad financial services remit. Significant improvements in digital enablement, business intelligence, market data and information management maturity are all being pursued to maintain their position as a world leader in financial services regulation. The Payments and Digital Assets directorate focuses on reducing harm and delivering the FCA objectives in the payments and digital assets sectors. Four departments make up the directorate; two Market Intervention departments supervise payments and crypto assets firms, the Policy department develops policy to address the challenges and opportunities in the sectors and the Cross-Cutting Market Analysis and Strategy department develops sector wide strategies and provides the analysis and data to identify risks, opportunities and trends to support supervision and policy making. The directorate supervises over 1,250 non-bank payments providers, including payments, e-money and open banking firms. It also oversees the crypto sector for money laundering and counter- terrorist financing purposes, and for compliance with the financial promotions regime. It is focused on driving up standards in both sectors. In the payments sector it is concentrating on key risks including financial crime, fraud, safeguarding and financial resilience. It is also working to ensure the Consumer Duty is implemented. In the crypto sector, on top of preventing the use of crypto assets for money laundering purposes and tackling misleading crypto ads, the directorate works with law enforcement partners to tackle Serious Organised Crime and engages with international regulatory partners. The directorate focuses on four other areas to support its work. It: (a) sets the overall strategy for payments and digital assets; (b) focuses on data exploitation and efficiencies; (c) identifies, understands and mitigates risk ensuring lessons are learnt and opportunities are seized; and (d) undertakes current state assessments and horizon scanning. Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) Payments are crucial for everyone in society. They are important for the UK, supporting domestic and international trade and providing major opportunities for the UK's world-leading fintech sector as well as existing participants across the payments ecosystem including end users. Innovation in payments continues to progress rapidly, with many people and businesses adopting digital options as part of their payment journeys. New payment methods such as distributed ledger technology are developing, discussions continue in respect of a digital pound, and the role of Big Tech firms in payments is progressively more significant. Alongside these domestic changes, there are significant global developments. As alternative payment systems emerge across the world, with increasing levels of interoperability between them, these developments provide important opportunities, as well as challenges. How do we ensure competition is effective in this changing landscape? How do all end users access the services they need and be adequately protected? How will broader global developments affect innovation and service provision in the UK, and how will the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) respond? The four priorities the PSR has committed to are: protection, competition, unlocking account-to-account payments, and access and choice. The PSR's statutory objectives are: to ensure that payment systems are operated and developed in a way that considers and promotes the interests of all the businesses and consumers that use them to promote effective competition in the markets for payment systems and services - between operators, PSPs and infrastructure providers to promote the development of and innovation in payment systems, in particular the infrastructure used to operate those systems. To meet these objectives the PSR has a range of strong regulatory and competition powers over schemes and their participants. They became fully operational in 2015 and as an independent economic regulator is an important part of the regulatory infrastructure of the UK. They are directly accountable to Parliament and funded by the payments industry. They work closely with other regulators involved in this sector (notably the Financial Conduct Authority, the Bank of England and the Competition and Markets Authority) and operationally is an independent subsidiary of the Financial Conduct Authority.
