The PSR Panel, led by Dr Ruth Wandhöfer, the PSR Panel Chair was tasked to understand potential barriers to the take-up of digital payments and identify potential solutions. This review was commissioned in response to last year’s Access to Cash Working Group’s recommendation for further work to enable digital payments.

The PSR will engage with industry and relevant authorities on the barriers and solutions that the panel have identified to enable greater and easier use of digital payments, with a workshop planned in June, and will set out its response to the Panel’s recommendations later in the summer.
