Payment services cover the activity of offering and operating systems that move money for customers, including the handling of payment accounts, transfers, cards, and designated payment services under the UK’s regulatory framework. A solicitor in this area helps firms or regulated providers ensure compliance with the Payment Services Regulations 2009 and the PSRs, the Second Payment Services Directive, and FCA rules. They draft and review payment service agreements, apply for and maintain authorisation, manage safeguarding and security of funds, and advise on anti‑money laundering and data protection obligations. They may also advise on contractual issues with payment service users, PSPs, banks and scheme operators, and liaise with regulators during investigations or complaints handling.
The work involves drafting and negotiating service agreements, determining licensing requirements, and navigating technical systems for payments, fraud prevention, and funds safeguarding. It requires handling the interplay with banks, card schemes, and payment institutions, plus compliance with safeguarding of client money, incident reporting, and regulatory audits.
