This requires Barclays Bank UK plc, Barclays Bank plc and TSB Bank plc to migrate to the Phase 2 technical environment by no later than 30 June 2022.

Notes:

We gave the original Specific Direction (SD11) in February 2022.

Since then, some Phase 1 participants have experienced technical issues with their migration to the Phase 2 technical environment. This has delayed their readiness to provide CoP in the Phase 2 environment before Phase 1 was formally decommissioned on 31 May 2022. 

In light of these delays and to protect consumers, on 24 May 2022, we varied SD11 (SD11a) requiring Pay.UK to ensure the closure of the Phase 1 technical environment on 30 June 2022 rather than 31 May 2022.

We have also decided to direct delayed Phase 1 CoP participants to migrate to the Phase 2 technical environment by no later than 30 June 2022. This Specific Direction (SD13) is given to Barclays Bank UK plc, Barclays Bank plc and TSB Bank plc to ensure that they will switch to the Phase 2 technical environment before the closure of the Phase 1 environment.  This will prevent a loss of CoP service and harm to consumers.  It will also ensure that all CoP services across all Payment Service Providers (PSPs) can work together under a single domain benefitting both PSPs and customers.
