Industry Partners

EMVCo engages and collaborates with hundreds of industry stakeholders, technical bodies and regulators to develop EMV® Specifications that support innovation and address ecosystem needs. This results in specifications used across the payments industry to create products and services that deliver trusted and convenient payments for merchants and consumers around the world.

In addition to the EMVCo Associate & Subscriber Programme, EMVCo works closely with regional and global technical bodies and industry associations.

Testimonials

For more than 20 years APSCA has collaborated with EMVCo to educate stakeholders across Asia-Pacific on the benefits of using EMV Specifications as a foundation for seamless and secure payments. These efforts have been key to driving EMV Chip migration in the region, and supporting the continued growth of contactless, mobile NFC, QR Codes and digital payments.

Greg Pote, Chairman, APSCA

When W3C began to focus on streamlining e-commerce checkout, EMVCo and W3C recognised the value of developing an industry partnership. With the FIDO Alliance we then established a dedicated Web Payment Security Interest Group. All three organisations now work more closely to improve online payment security and to enhance interoperability among our respective technologies. Through this collaboration we anticipate that merchants, payment service providers, and other industry stakeholders will benefit from more secure and streamlined online payments.

Ian Jacobs, Payments Lead, W3C

For more than two decades, the Secure Technology Alliance has partnered with EMVCo to support reliable, interoperable payments as technology and consumer expectations evolve. This coordination has become even more important now that AI is reshaping modern transactions. Aligning with EMVCo through our U.S. Payments Forum and the Agentic Trust and Commerce Forum extends that work to a broad range of stakeholders, best practices and a meaningful voice in shaping a more trusted, future-focused payments industry.

Itai Sela, Chair, Secure Technology Alliance Board
