About us
The Payments Association (TPA) is for payments firms, big & small. We help our members navigate a complex regulatory environment and facilitate profitable business partnerships. Our purpose is to empower the most influential community in payments, where the connections, collaboration and learning shape an industry that works for all. We operate as an independent representative for the industry and its interests, and drive collaboration within the payments sector in order to bring about meaningful change and innovation. We work closely with industry stakeholders such as the Bank of England, the FCA, HM Treasury, the Payment Systems Regulator, Pay.UK, UK Finance and Innovate Finance. Through our comprehensive programme of activities for members and with guidance from an independent Advisory Board of leading payments CEOs, we facilitate the connections and build the bridges that join the ecosystem together and make it stronger. These activities include a programme of monthly digital and face-to-face event, including the industry leading PAY360 event and PAY360 Awards dinner, CEO round tables and training activities. We run 7 stakeholder working groups: Inclusion, Regulator, Financial Crime, Cross-Border, ESG and Open Banking. The volunteers within these groups represent the collective view of The Payments Association members at industry-critical moments and work together to drive innovation in these areas. We also conduct exclusive industry research which is made available to our members through our Insights knowledge base. These include monthly whitepapers, insightful interviews and tips from the industry’s most successful CEOs. The Payments Association is the trading name of Emerging Payments Ventures Limited.

For our members and partners, notice of an inspiring read: the UK's first National Payments Vision.
All we need now is optimism. Do we have that? For 18 months we’ve been encouraging the government to show its leadership of the industry that underpins everything: #Payments. Today, alongside a flurry of measures that affect financial services broadly, the Rt Hon Rachel Reeves has published the first #NationalPaymentsVision for the UK at Mansion House. My first reaction is that this is exactly what we need to support #growth in the UK. Directionally clear without being too prescriptive. Honest about our strengths and failings while respectful of the need for change. Creative without being too clever. Designed to reflect an industry that has stalled in places but is primed for growth. Directed towards a motivating purpose: ‘to achieve a trusted, world-leading payments ecosystem delivered on next generation technology, where consumers and businesses have a choice of payment methods to meet their needs.’ You will read a detailed review of the contents of the NPV from The Payments Association and our friends in the coming days. But the time for reflection is over. Our community of passionate payments people is armed with entrepreneurial ambition, fueled by global investment and enabled by extraordinary talent. The lack of direction from HM Treasury is no longer an obstacle to the achievement of great things. We even have clarity about the reform of Pay.UK; about the role of HMT, the Bank of England and the PSR in aligning regulators; about the role that tech and telecoms companies play in tackling APP fraud; about the renewed enthusiasm for Open Banking and CBDCs; and about the fundamental importance of digital identity. We even have a commitment to collaboration: ‘Enhanced collaboration between government, regulators and industry is critical to delivering the government’s growth mission and renewed partnership with the private sector is required to deliver the government’s ambitions for UK payments’. The only ingredient missing is optimism. Optimism founded on belief, empathy, confidence and commitment. Optimism to take risks and manage them assertively. Optimism to set aside our competitive interests to collaborate for the collective good. We need optimism to reward the government for its courage in showing leadership. And optimism to ensure the new Payments Vision Delivery Committee, chaired by HM Treasury and supported by the new Vision Engagement Group, fulfills its potential. So do we have it? I believe we do. Thank you to all those who have worked so hard to make this happen.
