Mission Our mission is to facilitate the success of our members through education, collaboration and professional advocacy. We will contribute to the business growth within our community by leveraging our base of payment professionals to create greater awareness, support higher education and attract payments-focused businesses and entrepreneurs. Vision The Charlotte Payments Initiative objective is to make Charlotte an acknowledged Payments Center of Excellence which will lead to more opportunities for Charlotte based payments professionals and further augment our already vibrant business community. We believe this requires a strong partnership among city government, the Charlotte Chamber, the payments community, Charlotte’s fledgling entrepreneurial community, and local academic institutions.
