Businesses can now apply to be authorised or registered under the Payment Services Regulations (PSRs) 2017, or the Electronic Money Regulations (EMRs) as amended by the PSRs 2017.
Businesses should find out more on how to prepare for PSD2 if they want to become, or are already a payment institution or an e-money institution.
Get ready for 13 January 2018
PSD2 introduces a number of new requirements around how firms must treat their customers, handle complaints, and the data that is reported to the FCA. The majority of the new regime will apply from 13 January 2018. Firms can read in full about FCA’s approach to regulating firms in the PSD2 Approach Document and Policy Statement.
What if I am already authorised or registered?
Firms already authorised or registered under the PSRs 2017 or the EMRs can now submit applications for re-authorisation or re-registration. Authorised payment institutions, authorised e-money institutions and small e-money institutions must submit an application by 13 April in order to continue providing payment services or issuing e-money beyond 13 July 2018. Although small payment institutions must do this by 13 October 2018 in order to continue providing payment services beyond 13 January 2019.
To help businesses identify the key changes that are relevant to them resulting from PSD2 the FCA have launched the PSD2 Navigator. The online decision tool directs firms to relevant information and details what they need to do to be PSD2 compliant.
Firms can visit the PSD2 web pages or sign up to the PSD2 mailing list for the latest information on PSD2.

We use an auto-login link to ensure optimum security for your members hub. Simply enter your professional work e-mail address into the input area and you’ll receive a link to directly access your account.
Instead of using passwords, we e-mail you a link to log in to the site. This allows us to automatically verify you and apply member benefits based on your e-mail domain name.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
