Direct participation in a payment system
Eligibility criteria for direct participation within a payment system are agreed and maintained by each payment system.
Payment service providers wishing to become a direct participant in a payment system should approach that payment system.
Participants meeting the eligibility criteria (that require new sort codes) will be allocated sort codes as part of the process of becoming a direct participant of the payment system.
