The Payments Association

The Payments Association is the UK's leading trade body and community for the payments industry, representing over 250 member organisations spanning banks, fintechs, merchants, and payment providers. It delivers events such as PAY360, publishes policy research, and runs working groups across areas including digital currencies, open banking, and financial crime. Founded in 2008 by Tony Craddock, it has since expanded to include communities in the EU and Asia.
