About the Emerging Payments Association (EPA) The EPA is a trade body for the emerging payments industry built by experienced payment practitioners and a community for the UK’s most progressive payments companies, supported by our benefactor Visa Collab. The EPA helps its members to have influence over the payments landscape and get access to the people operating in it, whether they are buyers, sellers or partners. Based in the heart of London, the EPA houses the Catalyst – the world’s only incubator dedicated to early stage PayTech companies, sponsored by MasterCard and The Bancorp. The EPA works with its members – from global giants to niche start-ups – to shape the future of the payments industry landscape by raising the profile of the industry, helping members grow their business and addressing the barriers that stifle innovation.
