The Payment Times Reporting Regulator has released the inaugural Regulator’s compliance update.
The April 2026 edition shares insights into compliance action taken by the Regulator between 31 July 2025 and 31 March 2026.
The March 2026 Stakeholder liaison forum (the forum) enabled regulated entities, their representatives, and other stakeholders to engage directly with the Regulator and ask questions of the Payment Times Reporting Scheme leadership team.
The forum maintained a thematic approach, focusing on topics from the January update.
The liaison forum is held twice a year, following the release of the Regulator's update publication.
On Thursday 29 January 2026, the Regulator hosted the first of 4 online demonstrations of the new portal. More than 400 people attended and asked questions about the new features and how to use the portal.
We collected these questions and grouped them by topic. You can read them, along with our answers, in the downloadable Q&A from the online demonstration of the new portal resource.
We will keep this document updated with new questions from the remaining webinars.
The Payment Times Reporting Regulator has released the first of 2 updates for 2026. The January edition shares insights from Reporting Cycle 9 (1 January to 30 June 2025) and sets out our priorities for the year.
