Share This Interview

The Payments Leaders Show features key insights and takeaways from the payments industry. Ben Agnew, CEO of The Payments Association, highlights the importance of having the desire to learn and being passionate about the industry’s impact on society. Unlike other sectors, payments require a collaborative approach. The Payments Association community is diverse, with various opinions, but they collaborate well for the greater good. An open mindset is crucial; competitors today could become partners or suppliers tomorrow.

The payments industry is constantly evolving at a breakneck pace, becoming more important even in political spheres, highlighting the importance of financial inclusion and not leaving anyone behind. There are many reasons why someone should enter the industry, including contributing to UK PLC’s growth and being at the forefront of innovation. Diversity is essential, not just demographic but also cognitive and thought diversity.

Ben also highlighted the positive influence of his curious children and the importance of having a growth mindset, where one can transform weaknesses into strengths. He also emphasised the importance of diligence, being prepared while taking risks and being ready to fail.

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.
