PS17/17: PSR regulatory fees 2017/18

This document sets our final decision, in conjunction with the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), on the rates for PSR regulatory fees for 2017/18.

Show PS17/17[3]

In March 2017 we consulted on our proposals[2] (CP17/9) for these rates and also confirmed how our fees will be calculated and collected. 

This document:

  • Answers questions about how fees for the PSR’s functions and activities under the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 (FSBRA) and the EU Interchange Fee Regulation 2015 (IFR) will be allocated, calculated and collected.
  • Summarises the responses we received in our March consultation and our feedback on them.

Having considered all the submissions to our March consultation we have decided to apply the 2017/18 fee rates as consulted on. The individual operator fee rates can be found in Annex 1 of this document.

The PSR had an underspend for 2016/17 and will refund £4.2 million to fee payers for that year.

Who this applies to

This consultation is relevant to participants in regulated payment systems under FSBRA, IFR regulated persons and PSPs which operate in the UK.
