National Payments Plan (PDF 667KB)
The National Payments Plan was a landmark publication for the Payments Council. Launched on 14 May 2008, the Plan set out a 10-year vision for UK payments together with the practical steps needed to put the vision into practice.
Produced after an extensive public consultation process, it was considered important that all stakeholders and people with an interest in the future of payments would be able to help mould the 10-year vision.
The Plan reflects the Payments Council's main core objectives, placing a particular emphasis on innovation, efficiency, integrity and responsiveness to user requirements. It takes the view that co-operation between payment participants is paramount, if users are to reap the full benefit. The Plan outlines those areas where collaboration can deliver such an outcome.
