Financial Conduct Authority
Regulating financial services firms and financial markets in the UK, https://www.fca.org.uk/careers
Requirements of the role
Operationally the PSR is currently an independent subsidiary of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), however in March 2025 the Prime Minister announced that the PSR would be consolidated into the FCA, a pragmatic next step in simplifying regulation of payments.
The Future Payment Systems and Infrastructure team you are applying to join will ultimately move into the FCA when the new legislation takes effect. Candidates should be aware, therefore, that there may be changes to their responsibilities as consolidation into the FCA progresses.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the PSR’s Future Payment Systems and Infrastructure team, helping to shape the future of the UK’s retail payments landscape. The role will support the PSR’s contribution to the National Payments Vision, engagement with new and emerging payment systems, and the development of a consistent, transparent regulatory approach as oversight transitions into the FCA. Working closely with other authorities, industry participants and senior stakeholders, you will play a key role in regulatory cooperation, policy delivery and influencing the future oversight of payment systems to support better outcomes for consumers, businesses and the wider economy.
