Marketing Assistant
The Payments Innovation Forum (PIF) is a not-for-profit trade body for the payments sector. We support and champion innovation in payments by promoting the highest possible standards of practice compliance, educating regulators, policymakers, consumer bodies and the media, and advocating for industry-positive policy that fosters innovation and competition in payments whilst protecting the interests of consumers. As well as supporting our members in practical ways, we work hard to create an external environment in which our members can grow and thrive.
