From Vision to Delivery

The Choices That Will 
Define UK Payments Reform


The UK payments industry backs the ambition of the National Payments Vision. Now attention is turning to how it will be delivered.


Based on independent research with 350 UK payments leaders and stakeholders, we have examined the decisions, priorities and pressure points that will define the next phase of payments reform.



Confidence is broad, 
but delivery questions dominate

82% of payments leaders are confident the National Payments Vision can support positive outcomes over the next five years, yet only 29% are very confident.

As the UK moves from vision to delivery, the industry wants greater clarity on the roadmap, regulatory dependencies, testing and migration, governance and how new infrastructure will work alongside the systems already processing payments today.


‘From Vision to Delivery’ explores where those concerns are concentrated, what the UK can learn from Brazil’s PIX programme, how inclusion should influence the build, and the five delivery decisions that need early attention.
