Consultation on our proposed approach to the merchant survey

The PSR is conducting a market review into the supply of card-acquiring services. The final Terms of Reference (ToR) were published on 24 January 2019.

The ToR state that the PSR will undertake a survey of small and medium-sized merchants in the UK.
