Put your brand in the room where
the payments industry is made.

For 19 years, the PAY360 Awards has been the night the payments industry shows up for. 950+ senior leaders. Over half C-suite or above. 300+ organisations. One room, one evening, one shot at being part of the conversation that defines the year ahead.

Sponsoring the PAY360 Awards is not about logo placement. It is about putting your brand at the centre of the industry’s most important night, with twelve months of build-up, a captive audience on the night and a profile that lasts long after the trophies are handed out.

"If you're in the payments industry, you need to be at the PAY360 Awards. Spend the evening celebrating the achievements of your company, peers, and the industry as a whole, and network with fellow leaders in the space."

Moradia Ltd

What sponsorship actually gets you

A room full of buyers and decision-makers.
You sit alongside 950+ senior executives from across the payments value chain, with direct access on the night and through the campaign that surrounds it. Half the room is C-level or above. The rest are not far behind.

Twelve months of brand exposure, not one night. Sponsorship runs as a full campaign, not a single appearance. Your brand reaches 250,000+ payments professionals through The Payments Association’s owned channels before, during and after the event. LinkedIn announcements, email introductions to shortlisted finalists, presence in the awards brochure, on-stage moments and post-event content all do the work for you.

Direct introductions to your most relevant prospects. Category sponsors get email introductions to every shortlisted finalist in their category. That is a warm route into the businesses already proving they are doing something worth recognising in your space.

A thought leadership platform, ready-made. Aligning with one of 21 award categories positions your business as the authority in that part of the market. You can publish content through The Payments Association’s channels, appear in onsite video interviews, and shape the conversation around your category rather than just respond to it.

An evening your team and clients will remember. Every sponsorship package includes a table on the night, with the drinks, the dinner and the after-party that have made the PAY360 Awards what they are. It is one of the best client entertainment nights of the year, and it does double duty.
