The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Bank of England, Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) and Prudential Regulation Authority have issued a joint statement announcing their revised memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the supervision of payment systems in the UK.

The update follows a review conducted by the authorities in December 2024 which identified opportunities to enhance cooperation among the authorities in overseeing payment systems. The revised MoU aims to clarify the respective roles and coordination mechanisms of the authorities and introduces principles for regulatory cooperation including through regular engagements to share insights on the sector, delivering joint policy initiatives and coordinating supervisory work. The revised MoU reflects the PSR's current responsibilities, notwithstanding the UK government's announcement that the PSR's functions will largely be rolled into the FCA in the future, with no immediate changes being made by the UK Government to the PSR's remit or ongoing work programme.
