The PSR has published a Notice of intention to operate a confidentiality ring following the publication of its interim report in the market review into card-acquiring services in September 2020.
Following a request by a party, the PSR has decided to disclose the merchant survey data to certain interested parties through a confidentiality ring to help parties respond to its consultation. Access will be granted to a limited number of approved external economic and legal advisers of certain parties with an interest in the consultation, who will be required to sign individual and firm-level undertakings before they will be granted access to the confidentiality ring.
