We will be announcing our chosen charity for the United States in the coming weeks as we prepare for our inaugural U.S. event. Introducing Our U.S. Charity Initiative As we bring The Card & Payments Awards to the United States for the first time, we are proud to extend our long-standing charitable commitment to this new market.

The payments industry has always played a unique role in enabling giving, from innovations in donation technology to driving impact at scale, and we believe this community is uniquely positioned to support meaningful change.

Our goal is simple: to build a lasting partnership with a U.S. based charity that reflects the values of our industry and the communities it serves. This is not a one-off gesture. It is an opportunity to create a shared platform for impact, one that the industry can stand behind year after year.

We are inviting organisations across the payment's ecosystem including banks, fintechs, networks, processors, and partners to help us identify and champion a charity that can benefit from the collective strength of this community. From on the night fundraising to long term visibility and awareness, our ambition is to use the power of this network to deliver real, measurable impact.

Get Involved If you would like to nominate a charity or be part of shaping this initiative, we would love to hear from you.
