Our Working Groups

The Payments Association’s 7 working groups drive industry change to shape the future of the payments landscape. We bring together more than 150 high level volunteers from across the payments industry who represent the collective view of members of The Payments Association at industry-critical moments.

Inclusion

To drive industry activity that informs and collaborates with government and third sector bodies to provide clarity on PayTech innovations and solutions that aim to reduce financial exclusion and the poverty premium.

Cross-Border

To develop a trade mission programme that helps members of The Payments Association enter global markets and to encourage trade between organisations that use payments outside the EU in the Post-Brexit era.

Financial Crime

To deliver community-driven solutions that address the problems posed by digital and financial criminal activity and position The Payments Association and its members as leaders in tackling financial crime.

Open Banking

To help create the market conditions for the successful implementation of Open Banking, by championing open finance and supporting the development of commercial frameworks and industry standards.

Regulator

To engage with regulatory bodies to promote and champion the regulatory concerns of members of The Payments Association and drive change towards the development of a fairer regulatory landscape for payments companies.

Digital Currencies

The Digital Currencies working group will seek to educate all stakeholders on the history, journey and future potential of digital currencies, including how the technology works as well as its opportunities and risks. This includes providing market insight to our members, regulators and the wider industry.

ESG

The ESG working group will help payments businesses to understand, and act on, the business imperative for having an Environment, Social and Governance, that is, ESG strategy and policy and how authentically embedding purpose into their organisations leads to business profitability and business resilience.

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.
