'As a community of 'payment savvy' professionals from various backgrounds there is a richness of information, cross cultural exchange and a lot of common sense around. It's a kind of resource point, creative hub and an engine for change combined. Being part of the forum gives me a commercial and professional advantage and supports personal development as I become more updated with market dynamics, trends, legal and technological developments.
As payments become increasingly one of the key processes for any business developing it's online capabilities, my experience as a merchant representative, is that working with the forum is a solid investment of time for any merchant or related business, large, medium or small.'
