Mastercard worked with Transport for London to complement TfL’s closed-loop Oyster system with open-loop EMV payment acceptance, which enables riders to use their own payment card or an enabled device that they already carry with them to pay for public transit. TfL was the first transport system to implement an open-loop EMV payment system.

The UK has developed a government-led program that works with academia and industry to support and promote increasingly sophisticated digitalisation, digital modelling, and information management and sharing, supporting the optimisation of the built environment across its lifecycle and ensuring this is done in a way that maintains safety, security, and resilience.

The Contracts for Difference (CfD) were introduced as part of the UK's Electricity Market Reform to incentivise investment in secure, low-carbon electricity, improve the security of the UK’s electricity supply, and improve affordability for consumers.
