DfT director Dan Moore joins PSR as head of strategy and intelligence
The UK’s Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) has named Dan Moore as its new head of strategy and intelligence, effective 15 January 2024.
Dan Moor joins the PSR’s executive team
Moore will join the regulator’s executive team, which received Oliver Hanmer as head of supervision and compliance monitoring and Natalie Golding as chief operating officer (COO) this year.
The PSR says that as part of his appointment, Moore will be tasked with leading its strategy and intelligence division, a remit that includes the application of both current and future domestic and international payment trends to inform the delivery of the regulator’s five-year strategy and new areas of focus.
He joins the PSR from the UK’s Department for Transport (DfT), where amid an eight-year tenure, he led a “broad range of strategy, analysis, and innovation projects”, serving most recently as the department’s director of rail strategy and analysis.
Prior to this, Moore held the position of project director at the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), where he co-ordinated investigations into ‘pay for delay’ in the pharmaceutical sector and small business retail banking.
Speaking on its latest appointment, Chris Hemsley, managing director of the PSR, says Moore “brings a real depth of experience in strategy and analysis, and how public policy can improve outcomes” to the role.
“Dan and his team will help make sure that the PSR is outward facing and focused on the right things at the right time – gathering insight and intelligence so we can continue to deliver good outcomes for everybody that uses a payment system,” he comments.
Ensuring the arrival of these “good outcomes” has been top of the regulator’s agenda this year. Latest developments include the introduction of new proposals to protect UK businesses trading with Europe from heightened interchange fees, and better accommodation of interbank payments through its New Payments Architecture (NPA) programme.
