UK payments consolidate to single access point

The multiple access points for payments platforms in the UK have been brought together under one new operator

The New Payments System Operator (NPSO) will allow banks to access the UK’s payment systems through a single location and took over running Faster Payments and Bacs on May 1. The two systems transact £6.3 trillion a year, and account for the majority of payments made in the UK.

The decision to form the NPSO was made following a report from the Payment Systems Operator Delivery Group, a body set up by the Payment Systems Regulator and the Bank of England.
