Be recognised among the best in the Payments industry

In the world of payments, standing out is not just about doing your job, but about making a lasting impact. The Payments Association is on a mission to recognise the top 50 payments people worldwide who are driving innovation, shaping the future, and setting new standards in our industry. 
Why nominate?

  • Amplify your influence: Being listed among the Top 50 Payments People will solidify your reputation as a leader in the field. This is not just a recognition but a platform to amplify your influence across the global payments industry.

  • Gain visibility: Nominees will be featured in an exclusive article, showing your achievements to an audience of industry peers, thought leaders and potential collaborators. Your contributions deserve to be in the spotlight.

  • Join an elite circle: Those who make it to the Top 50 will be invited to an exclusive event as part of the PAY360 expo in March 2025, where you’ll connect with other influential figures.

This is more than an accolade, it’s a gateway to new opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations.
Nominate yourself or someone you admire

Whether you’re nominating yourself or someone who has inspired you, this is a chance to elevate those who are making a difference.

Nominate for contributions made in 2024 or for visionary work set to come to fruition in 2025. Every nomination is a step towards recognising the exceptional talent that’s shaping the payments sector.

How it works

Our panel of expert advisors will review each nomination on its merit. Finalists will not only gain the honour of being listed but will also have their stories told in an exclusive article, highlighting their journey and impact.

Starting in January 2025, we will reveal the rankings in a countdown, building up to the announcement of the number one payments professional at a special event in March.

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.
