The ATPC is a leading voice for America’s payments processors, driving awareness of the industry and its value to consumers, businesses, and the economy with legislations and regulators at federal, state, and international levels.

The ATPC is rooted in Georgia’s Transaction Alley where electronic payments and the fintech industry began. Yet, our members enable payments in states across the nation and in every corner of the globe. The ATPC has a rich history of economic development, thought leadership, and engagement on legislative and regulatory topics like cybersecurity, privacy, financial inclusion, fraud, as well as emerging themes like open banking, AI, and stablecoins. At its core, the ATPC is an advocacy organization focused on furthering the interests of the payments processing industry throughout federal and state government ecosystems.

The ATPC Cyber Council is a unique group that is part of the ATPC and comprised only of CISOs, CSOs, CIOs and CTOs who are on the front lines every day dealing with the operational impacts of cybersecurity. These U.S. based companies serve hundreds of millions of customer businesses across the globe daily and process hundreds of billions of transactions per year. Cybersecurity is one of the top priorities of the ATPC, which is also one of the few coalitions to have created a stand-alone Cybersecurity Council.
