ID-Pal > Resources > Newsroom > Best of Luck to the PAY360 Awards Finalists!

ID-Pal is a sponsor of the 2022 PAY360 Awards in London on October 5th, 2022, along with headline sponsor Mastercard and other sponsors such as paywith.glass, GPS, and Visa. Brought to you by The Payments Association in association with Mastercard, the PAY360 Awards (previously the Emerging Payments Awards) celebrates innovation and collaboration by recognising companies that have made significant advances in how we pay today. Now in its 15th year, the awards are the most prestigious event of the year for the UK payments industry.  

Attended by over 850 of the most senior executives from across the payments value chain, it is an incredible occasion to mingle with other like-minded professionals. The black-tie reception, dinner, ceremony, and party will be held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London and unsurprisingly, it goes on into the early hours!  

Last year the Emerging Payments Association acknowledged ID-Pal for its seamless user experience powering faster onboarding for end users and awarded us the coveted trophy for “Best Customer Experience” at the 2021 PAY360 Awards, a renowned awards program that recognises the UK’s best innovations in the payments space.  

In attendance from ID-Pal on October 5th will be: 

James O’’Toole, CBO – Connect with him on LinkedIn 

Alexander Blayney, Enterprise Sales & Strategic Partnerships Manager – Connect with him on LinkedIn 

Richard Coady, Head of Sales – Connect with him on LinkedIn
