Learn about our mission, values and members
In the ever-changing world of payments, how can you be ready for what comes next?
The Payments Innovation Forum (PIF) is the not-for-profit organisation representing the payments sector. At PIF, we serve as an independent and pragmatic industry voice, promoting safe, sustainable innovation in payments that harmonises the interests of industry, policymakers and consumers.
PIF is a hub for organisations seeking to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of payments, whether that's as a payment service provider or a fintech in the payments space. Through curated insights, expert guidance, and real-world examples of new approaches, we empower our members to capitalise on the opportunities.
Ultimately, we help our members to look further down the line to anticipate the challenges and strategically position their business for what comes next.
Our Values
As an association, we differentiate ourselves through our core values:
We are impact led - impact to us means making a meaningful difference in everything we do. It means cultivating a strong and connected network, and prioritising activities that achieve the best outcomes for our members and the industry as a whole.
We are vigilant - the aggregated experience of our members in launching, operating and scaling a business in the payments space means that we are alive to the challenges and opportunities in real-time. We follow our instincts, but we are ready to pivot.
We are inquisitive - we champion the transformative power of innovative payment solutions for all sections of society, and it begins with curiosity. At PIF, we have an unquenchable thirst for new ideas and approaches, and we empower each other to challenge the status quo.
