The ATPC fosters a bespoke payments processing community that allows member companies, sponsors, and legislators to engage directly in curated meetings, programs, and initiatives. We are not a traditional large trade association made up of thousands of individual members or hundreds of companies. Rather, our goal is to bring in the RIGHT people and organizations for meaningful engagement on critical issues that drives thought leadership and legislative and regulatory outcomes.

We are an ongoing resource and the payments processing industry voice with state government leaders, Congress, the White House, and federal agencies that claim payments jurisdiction. Members receive influence on Capitol Hill with world class public affairs:

• Go-to payments and fintech public policy and economic development coalition
• Helped pass Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act
• Enhanced focus of ATPC members by leveraging public sector relationships with
• industry guidance
• Liaised on key industry subject matter to solve business and Congressional challenges that advanced innovation and security in payments and fintech

Lastly, Atlanta is America’s payments industry home, but Washington, D.C., plays an important role for the ecosystem from a policy perspective, which is why the ATPC has an office there as well. We are also excited about the ATPC’s new Trans-Atlantic partnership with the Cities of Dublin and London, which will link the world’s financial services capitals and America’s fintech hub.
