🔎 What's in it for you

• Participate in building a European payments scheme that promises to have a big impact on the continent
• Work in a company with a startup mentality that has the strong support of leading European banks and the political backing of the European Commission to develop a solution that strengthens European sovereignty in the payments sector
• Work together with payment idealists who have extensive international experience and proven expertise in their field

€ Who are we?

The European Payments Initiative has a unique role in bringing together the various players in the payment industry. We are creating an innovative, future-proof payment solution designed to meet the needs of merchants, professionals, charities, and other organisations that accept payments and to enhance the everyday lives of consumers in Europe.
We believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; EPI acts as a bridge, giving banks and other payment service providers the opportunity to combine innovation efforts and to address shared challenges together. EPI is a catalyst for change, enabling banks, payment service providers, payment gateways and merchants to contribute collectively to the continued strength and resilience of the European Union.
We want to start and grow a new movement with the potential to change the way people across Europe pay in the future.
