Operators must issue invoices to direct members, acquirers, and card issuers from July 2017 and pay the PSR all collected monies by 1 October 2017. Direct PSP members, including acquirers and card issuers, must pay operators their regulatory fees by 15 September 2017. The PSR will refund £4.2 million to fee payers for the 2016/17 underspend.
