The Association

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a dynamic forum where Member Firms in the payments sector can collaborate, gain insights from industry experts to help shape its future and promote growth. We do this through representation in key industry bodies and, wherever possible, by direct contribution to government policy development.

Our Vision

Our vision is for a fairer payments industry; where payments companies have a clear understanding of regulatory requirements and full access to banking facilities.

Member Firms may offer any of the services permitted under the Payment Services Regulations 2017, including but not limited to:

  • Online foreign exchange and related payments
  • Money remittance and associated services
  • Merchant acquiring
  • Payment accounts and card processing
  • Execution of payment transactions (e.g. direct debits, payment cards, credit transfers, standing orders)
  • Payment initiation services and open banking

According to FCA registration data, there are nearly 900 regulated payment institutions in the UK.

We offer a form of membership to those Firms with ancillary interest in the sector, such as technology providers and professional services firms.
