161.This section amends section 108 of the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 so that:

i.

the existing restriction in that section on the Payment Systems Regulator’s exercise of its powers to enable access to a payment system does not apply in relation to systems to which the access provisions of the Payment Services Directive, as implemented in UK law via the Payment Services Regulations 2009, do not apply (including, most significantly, systems designated under the Settlement Finality Directive); and

ii.

a similar but narrower restriction is applied in relation to those systems to which the access provisions of the Payment Services Directive do apply.
