“For us, having members who are close to the action of payments helps ensure that new information and fresh perspectives directly contribute to maintaining safe, efficient, and innovative payments systems.”
Payments systems rely on the coordinated efforts of many different organisations, meaning that Payments NZ caters to a variety of business types within its membership.
“Our three membership types reflect the different kinds of organisations in the payments system, and the part they play in making it work,” says Mr Wiggins.
- Infrastructure: Members provide infrastructure services to the operation of our clearing systems and are involved in their governance, including strategic direction, operational management and development.
- Standards: Members provide or use payment instruments covered by our clearing system standards and are involved in their development.
- Industry: Members are part of industry-focused strategic conversations and strategic initiatives.
Payments NZ membership is the best way to stay involved with the system of invisible connections that underpins the entire economy, and to be part of the conversations that contribute to its future growth, direction and development.
