Membership
Joining the Payments Council
The Payments Council is a voluntary membership organisation governed by published Rules. The agreed membership criteria have been drawn widely. A Full Member must be a payment service provider in the UK and have qualifying payment volumes.
The benefits of Full Membership include the right to nominate or vote for a Board representative, the right to attend, speak and vote at general meetings, the provision of information, and early consultation. All Members will be given the opportunity to give their views on Board papers to Directors before Board meetings.
In joining the Payments Council, Full Members will be obliged to comply with relevant decisions of the Board unless granted a formal waiver.
Membership fees for all Full Members will be charged in proportion to qualifying UK payment volumes using bands, and will be determined annually by the Board.
Associate membership
We have now launched Associate Membership of the Payments Council. This offers any organisation with an interest in the payments industry access to a variety of payments-related information and research, as well as the opportunity to work with the key players in the industry.
