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.
