PSR publishes regulatory fees figures for 2025/26

The UK Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), in conjunction with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has published its regulatory fees figures for 2025/26. The annual funding requirement is set at GBP27 million, with fees allocated based on transaction volume (80%) and value (20%) across regulated payment systems for the 2024 calendar year. The PSR confirms that the ongoing consolidation into the FCA will be managed within existing budgets, with no immediate fee increases planned. The minimum fee threshold remains at GBP 100, and special project fees may apply to for-profit payment system operators. Fee payers are required to submit transaction data by 1 March, with invoices issued from July and final payments due within 30 days of receipt. The PSR confirms its fee methodology remains consistent with prior policy statements PS18/12 and PS23/2.
