## Source summary

The Paypers reports that Brite received an FCA electronic-money-institution licence and will phase in UK Pay by Bank services. A single API is intended to connect UK merchants with domestic payments and Brite's European network of more than 3,800 banks across 27 markets. The rollout's detailed timetable and scope were not disclosed.

## Why it matters

UK merchants gain a proposed single-integration route to European account-to-account payments; network reach is not actual customer adoption.
