Research and Insight
We sit at the centre of a vibrant UK payments ecosystem which faces constantly evolving challenges and opportunities impacting our customers, end users and the wider economy.
We focus on understanding and proactively addressing these by working collaboratively with the ecosystem, building on shared knowledge so we can all stay ahead of the trends that will impact the payments landscape in the short, medium and long term. Our deep insight programme consists of nine activities:
Foundational research
Ongoing research
Horizon scanning
Market and business intelligence
Internal expert analysis
Surveys and stakeholder feedback
Surveys and stakeholder feedback
Academic engagement
Standards setting
These activities enable us to identify potential risks that could impact the ecosystem, as well as opportunities that would improve payments for our customers and end users. They inform our opinions on topics that impact our end-users, customers and the wider economy, and product development for our current and future platform, the New Payments Architecture. They also inform our approach to industry innovation as a platform leader, which can be broken down into three approaches:
Developing innovative new solutions and encouraging competition
Understanding how we can evolve our existing products and services for our current and future platform
Sharing insights to support market collaboration
