Practice Notes

The Payment Services Regulations 2017, SI 2017/752 (PSRs 2017) transposed the recast PSD2 (Directive 2015/2366/EU) into national law on 13 January 2018 and largely came into force on that date. The PSRs 2017 replaced the Payment Services Regulations (SI 2009/209) (PSRs), which itself transposed the original Payment Services Directive (PSD) (Directive 2007/64/EC). This Practice Note provides information and analysis about the constituent parts of the PSRs 2017 and also considers the impact of Brexit (including areas of divergence), the PSRs 2017 and the assimilated EU legislation discussed in this Practice Note were amended at the end of the implementation period (ie 31 December 2020 referred to as IP completion day) by various statutory instruments in order to fix deficiencies occurring in the scope of the PSRs 2017 and retained EU legislation and reducing from EEA coverage to solely the UK. The Practice Note also considers the interaction between the PSRs 2017 and the UKs Open Banking Standard, as well as the application of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook provisions to payment services providers
