The Emerging Payments Association announces Global Processing Services as Patron and Benefactor
The Emerging Payments Association (EPA) is delighted to announce its partnership with leading payments issuer processor, Global Processing Services (GPS), who has assumed its role as Patron and benefactor at the EPA. The partnership will look to further strengthen the collaborative activities between GPS and the EPA, as well as provide GPS with a seat on one of the EPA’s UK projects, to help drive innovation in the payments sector.
GPS is the PayTech Pioneer ™ that has powered the European fintech revolution by enabling mobile app-based features and real-time notifications, putting flexibility and control in the hands of the cardholder. It has been uniquely positioned to support fintechs, challenger banks, and e-wallet providers on their growth journey, from the agility of a proof-of-concept to a fully scaled global offering. Its cutting-edge technology powers many of today’s challengers and fintechs around the world, including Revolut, Starling Bank, Curve, Xinja, WeLab Bank and Razer Fintech.
Tony Craddock, director general of the Emerging Payments Association, said: “GPS has proven to be a real pioneer that has powered the fintech revolution by enabling brands to provide hyper-personalised user experiences, placing flexibility and control in the hands of the cardholder. I’m thrilled to have them on board at the EPA in both a Patron and Benefactor role so that we can further our already stellar work in engaging, representing and serving the best interests of the UK payments sector.”
Joanne Dewar, chief executive officer at GPS, added: “We are delighted to be furthering our collaborative partnership with the EPA who play a pivotal role in connecting the ecosystem, and who provide an important platform for us to help drive innovation across the UK payments sector. As the industry continues to evolve at great speed, it is clear that partnerships and collaboration will remain the most effective ongoing model for fintech success, and we very much look forward to engaging with other EPA members to bring the industry forward.”
GPS has also joined the EPA as ‘Platinum Sponsor’ for its Virtual Trade Mission to Asia, an event targeted at companies looking to be at the forefront of fintech and payments in the region, which will allow participants to keep a finger on the pulse of important developments and changes in consumer behaviour and payments technology post-Covid, as well as help identify emerging opportunities moving into 2021.
