Why Join Us?
At The Payments Association, we’re a collaborative, inclusive, and purpose-driven team of around 40—and growing. We’re passionate about transforming the payments industry for the better, and we know that starts with our people.

We believe culture isn’t just words on a page. It’s how you feel on a Sunday night. It’s support, recognition, shared success, and knowing exactly how you contribute. It’s being seen, valued, and heard.

 

Our Culture
Intentional Growth: Our team has doubled in the past few years, and we’re committed to growing in a way that preserves what makes us special.
Employee Voice: Our Culture Club—volunteers from across the business—drive real change based on genuine feedback.

 

Our Values
We’re proud to live by values that reflect who we are and how we work:

  • Customer Centricity
    Walk in the shoes of the customer and treat them as you would like to be treated.
  • Be Brave and Dream Big
    Set an example by taking the lead and proactively taking initiative.
  • Not Everyone is the Same — Respect Other
    Be kind. Embrace all differences without judgement. Everyone will need a helping hand at some point.
  • Bring Your Ideas to the Table
    Every idea matters, and no question is insignificant.

 

These aren’t just words — they shape our decisions, drive our actions, and define our team culture.

Have you set up your Member account yet? If not, click here to do so.

Still not receiving your auto-login link?

Instead of using passwords, we e-mail you a link to log in to the site. This allows us to automatically verify you and apply member benefits based on your e-mail domain name.

Please click the button below which relates to the issue you’re having.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
