On June 24, 2015, the Payment Systems Regulator issued a call for input on card payment systems. The PSR seeks views on issues related to payment systems in the UK and in particular on interbank payment systems. The PSR is interested in hearing about the impact of new EU regulations which introduce new rules and implement caps on interchange fees, and the effect that these regulations might have on the way in which the UK card payment systems operate. The call for input also wishes to obtain views on general trends within card payment systems and gather information on how the interests of service users are considered in decision making. Responses to the call for input are due before July 31, 2015.

The call for input is available at: https://www.psr.org.uk/sites/default/files/media/PDF/Cards%20Call%20for%20Inputs.pdf.
