The Payments Association EU A.S.B.L (PA EU) is a non-profit association of payments industry influencers based at the LHoFT in Luxembourg.
The purpose of the Association is to promote and defend the interests of its members and as well as the study of any issues concerning the payments industry in the European Union.
PA EU builds on the international network of our London-based sister organisation, the Payments Association (PA), consisting of 150 members from across the payments value chain; including payments schemes, banks and issuers, merchant acquirers, PSPs, retailers, and more.
PA EU seeks to achieve its objectives by organizing events, managing projects defending the interests of its members, publishing research documents and providing training.
Collectively, members of the PA transact more than €6 trillion annually and employ more than 300,000 staff, meaning that we now have a significant influence over the industry's future.
As a Member you will get access to a series of events hosted by PA EU throughout the year such as the "PA@Home" Networking Events, the Regulatory Working group seminars, CXO private lunch meetings and much more. Events are held both in person and digitally.
The second pillar of our organization is based on our projects and working groups, where our members are invited to participate according to their interests and objectives.
In partnership with our sister-association PA, long-established in the United Kingdom, the membership offers "the best of both worlds", as it also provides exclusive access to the two flagship events hosted by our friends in London, including the "Pay360" annual conference and the "Payments Awards" ceremony.
Our newsletter makes sure you won't miss any of our events and also regularly promotes conferences and special news from our members.
Furthermore, as a regular member, you will be granted 5 personal introductions to target stakeholders within the EU, but also beyond through our sister organizations PA (UK) and EPA Asia.
Lastly, a membership grants access to a comprehensive database of research reports, briefing papers, case studies, white papers, and policy documents.
A membership also offers the opportunity to publish white papers, press releases, and special announcements via our website and social media.
