The Card & Payments Awards 2022, one of the leading networking events of the year for the UK and Irish card and payments industry, took place on Thursday 5 May 2022.
More than 1000 guests from over 300 different companies gathered together at the evening event at the JW Marriott Grosvenor Square in London hosted by TV personality Claudia Winkleman.
The annual #TCPA200 awards recognise excellence and innovation across the industry, judged by an independent panel of industry experts.
The awards, founded by Michael Harty 17 years ago, attracted entrants from credit, debit, prepaid and charge card issuers, co-brands, merchant acquirers, payment processors and other payments companies across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
On the night, the event raised £45,000 for the When you Wish Upon a Star children’s charity. The Fintech Times CEO Jason Williams presented an award and the event goodie bags featured the latest edition of the newspaper.
“The awards are all about promoting best practice in the industry and there is also value in everyone entering, whether they are big, small or a medium sized business, as it’s important for everybody to get recognition for their work. Innovation should always be applauded,” says Michael Harty, managing director at The Card & Payments Awards.
The 2023 Awards are now open to enter – you are encouraged to contact [email protected] sawards.com for more information and the chance to be part of this annual event on 2 February 2023.
