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 stable coins.

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 leverages a “hub-and-spoke” model at the federal level, matching ATPC member companies and employee bases across the country with congressional districts and relevant constituencies. The ATPC also sets agendas at the state legislative level, conducting in person fly-ins and hosting “Payments 101” sessions to educate key committees with industry oversight on how the payments ecosystem operates.
