PSP Intelligence

 

Research and data for payments professionals

PSP Intelligence is the subscription service for people who work in payments professionally and want to stay current on the economics of the market — scheme fees, interchange structures, regulatory developments, and how the commercial relationships between the main participants actually work.

The Problem

What is included

The Publication —the weekly long-form essay on the history and economics of payments, available to subscribers before general release.

The UK Payments Landscape — a map of the UK market: who the acquirers, processors, gateways and infrastructure providers are, who owns whom, and how the commercial relationships between them work. Updated as the market changes.

Scheme-fee and interchange data — structured reference data on Visa and Mastercard scheme fees and interchange rates in the UK and European markets, updated when the schemes publish revisions.

Regulatory tracker — a running summary of the significant open consultations and proceedings at the Payment Systems Regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority and the relevant European bodies.

Who subscribes

Payments professionals in banks, fintechs, merchant businesses and advisory firms who want to understand the commercial architecture of the market, not only the news about it.
