Working for the Payment Systems Regulator

Working for an exciting regulator where you can really make a difference

Payment systems underpin our economic and financial system and last year handled over 40 billion transactions worth around £92 trillion. The PSR's role is to promote the interests of users of payment systems – that’s the businesses, organisations and people that use them – through greater competition and innovation.

Diversity and inclusion at the PSR

As a diverse, forward-facing organisation which is continually working to drive improvements for everyone who uses payment systems, we’re looking for people who share our openness and determination.

In order to represent the people and organisations that we serve, we’re committed to building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our commitments are inclusive of but not limited to: race & ethnicity; LGBT+; disability; mental and physical health; and social mobility.

Our corporate responsibility, purpose and commitment are important parts of our identity, both as an employer and regulator. It relates to how we as a business, take into account the social, environmental and financial impacts of our decisions and actions so we contribute positively to the wider community and our environment.

We are experiencing unprecedented times across the world, so it is even more important that our commitment to diversity and inclusion is absolutely clear. We want to encourage all of our people to feel confident that they can bring their whole selves to work everyday.

We are proud signatories of the Women in Finance Charter.

What our D&I data tells us:

As of 31 March 2021:

representation across the PSR is 55% female
Our Senior Leadership Team is 75% female
55% of our managers are female
Our Extended Leadership team (combined SLT and managers) is 70% female
Our female representation on the board is 17%

As a result, whilst we have met our Charter target, our goal is to maintain our focus on gender balance and to continue to develop our talent pipeline through to 2025 and beyond.

Race and Ethnicity:

Currently minority ethnic representation across our combined Exec/ELT is at 10%, down from 11% last year, whilst representation across the organisation is up from 19% to 20%.

We also hold the Level 2 Carer Confident accreditation from Carers UK.
