Yaspa’s involvement will strengthen its engagement with policymakers and senior industry figures, reinforcing its commitment to advancing robust fraud prevention measures.
The membership marks another milestone in Yaspa’s growth journey, reflecting its ambition to influence the future of payments not only through product innovation, but also through active industry collaboration and policy engagement.
Through active participation in specialist working groups, Yaspa will help shape key industry initiatives, broaden its network, and support progress across critical areas such as open banking, user verification, AI in payments, and responsible gambling.
Yaspa CMO Kate Marsden said: “We’re delighted to join a community that shares our belief in the power of open banking to deliver a streamlined payment experience for the user, and actionable insights for businesses.
“The Payment Association’s commitment to driving innovation and collaboration across the ecosystem makes it a natural fit for Yaspa as we continue to champion smarter, safer digital transactions.”
