UK Payments Council launches consultation on payments plan

The Payments Council has launched a public
consultation as part of its plans to update its UK National
Payments Plan.

The Plan, first published in May 2008, sets
out a 10-year vision for payments in the UK.  The consultation
document – Updating the National Payments Plan – A consultation
for the 2011 review of the NPP – can be accessed here:

Gary Hocking, Acting Chief Executive of the
Payments Council, said: “Our role is to ensure that the payment
system works and that we can deliver innovation where it is
needed.  To do this, we need to plan ahead, and the National
Payments Plan is at the heart of our planning.

“We are in a different environment now than we
were just three years ago.  New technologies move ever closer
to realisation, so our Plan has to be robust and up-to-date. 
Public consultation is a crucial part of updating the Plan and we
are looking for input from as wide a variety of organisations and
interests as possible.”
