The Third Party Payment Processors Association (TPPPA) is a non-profit trade association of leading TPPPs across the nation. The association provides advocacy and a voice in the payments industry for third party payment processors, their financial institutions and other parties that benefit from the services that TPPPs provide. The TPPPA aims to raise the bar for third-party payment processing through the development and implementation of a Compliance Management System (CMS) for our members that will support the processors and their financial institutions to cooperatively work together to support all of the payments compliance requirements for the financial institution. We further aim to education the industry and government on the important role that third-party payment processors play in the industry and in the economy. TPPPs are innovators that provide consumers with the means of making fast and secure payments, and small-to-midsized business with the opportunity to compete in a global market place through the ability to make and collect electronic payments.
