Today, The Payments Association head of policy and government relations, Riccardo Tordera attended the release of Visa’s report, Payments: Putting customers first at the offices of EY.
The report focuses on the success of the UK’s payments landscape and its impact on local economies.
As a nation, the UK has been a pioneering force in a financial revolution which has meant that fast, secure, and reliable payments
methods such as contactless were introduced long before other regions.
This early innovation ignited fierce competition among payment service providers, compelling them to continually evolve and enhance their offerings.
Consequently, consumers can now execute their transactions securely and with unwavering reliability, while businesses have gained the confidence to expand their operations and engage in commerce with ease.
This shift towards digital payments has undeniably redefined the way we conduct financial transactions, making it more convenient and efficient for both individuals and enterprises alike.
On the release of the report, Tordera said: “Our policy direction aligns closely to the goals of the report in terms of security, reliability, speed convenience and customer choice.
“As an association, we share our member, Visa’s, view that the people of the UK need their wages, benefits and pensions to arrive on time, and therefore the industry must ensure that emerging use cases are future-proofed to ensure the integrity of our sector.”
“We also echo the report’s call to action, asking for the government to accelerate its coordination and digitisation of government and public sector activities to allow the payments space to run more efficiently.”

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
