Open Banking World Series Edition 2: UK Consumer Report Consumers looking for better payment choice December 2020

UK Open Banking launched to much fanfare in January 2018. But initial adoption and use by consumers remained low. Early services had challenges: poor user experience, inconsistent and unreliable service from the banks, and lack of consumer understanding all meant challenges for both consumers and third party service providers in delivering the much spoken about value of Open Banking.

This report, based on a survey of over 2,000 UK consumers in September 2020, explores consumer perceptions on payment methods, and outlines willingness to adopt Open Banking payments in various use cases and situations.

The research was conducted by Censuswide, with 2,028 consumers in the UK surveyed. The fieldwork took place between 09.09.2020 -11.09.2020. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles.
The survey examined consumer behaviours towards payments in general, and in particular payments in the following 12 sectors: Everyday Retail (e.g. groceries); Fashion Retail; Large Ticket Retail (e.g. furniture, appliances); Flights; Package Holidays; Financial Services; Insurance; Utilities; Education; Government; Charities & Gaming.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

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.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

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.

Tip: Only click once

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.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

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.

Tip: Check your security policies

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.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
