Detail of outcome

This publication summarises responses to the consultation on information requirements in the Payment Accounts Regulations 2015. The response confirms the government’s intention to revoke Part 2 and Schedules 1 and 2 of the Payment Accounts Regulations and hand over responsibility for detailed firm-facing requirements on customer information requirements to the FCA.

Original consultation

Summary

The Payment Accounts Regulations (PARs) transposed the EU’s Payments Accounts Directive in 2015. Part 2 and Schedules 1 and 2 of the PARs set out requirements intended to improve the comparability of fees connected with payment accounts. We expect many of these requirements to be either too prescriptive or less necessary in a UK context.

This consultation ran from
