Our Mission
The Payments Innovation Forum (PIF) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing innovation across the payments ecosystem. We champion progress that responsibly balances the needs of industry, regulators, and consumers. As an independent and pragmatic voice, we promote safe and sustainable innovation, driving the development of smarter, more inclusive payment solutions that deliver better outcomes for individuals, businesses, and the organisations that serve them.
Our Values
As an industry body rooted in the payments sector, 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.
