American Transaction Processors Coalition

Atlanta, GA, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Financial Services

Before the American Transaction Processors Coalition (ATPC), national payments processing companies were to a great extent squeezed out of the political and regulatory chain of influence, and few Georgians and politicians residing in America's "Transaction Alley" understood the importance of the industry to the state's (and nation's) economic success.Payment processing currently equals the entire U.S. movie industry (worldwide annual sales) and is dominated by Atlanta, just as Los Angeles dominates films. Most people don't know about the industry and its impact, which is why the ATPC was developed - to tell the story of more than 40,000 employees right here in Georgia and an additional 105,000 people around the world on the payroll of Georgia companies.The ATPC was created to protect, promote and preserve the interests of this critical Georgia industry through proactive public relations and government affairs activities.The ATPC focused on Georgia's Congressional Delegation to build broad Congressional support for protecting the payments processing industry, and ensuring Georgia and the U.S. are recognized as the global center of the digital economy in its first two and a half years. Successfully providing an industry voice and becoming a resource to those stakeholders has allowed the ATPC to expand its reach to other members of Congress on key committees and in positions of influence.In addition, the ATPC works with member companies, community leaders, and government officials to raise the profile of the payments processing industry in a positive light.
