Ingenico Makes Dual Impact as Payment Partner for
The Card and Payment Awards
Payment giant celebrates raising
over £100k for award’s annual charities, during 10-year
partnership
Ingenico Group
(Euronext: FR0000125346 -
ING), the global leader in seamless
payments, today marks two significant milestones as the payment
partner of the prestigious industry awards body, The Card and
Payment Awards (TCPA). Not only is it celebrating a decade of
supporting the awards, but also raising more than £100,000 through
its payment terminals for the TCPA’s chosen charities during that
time.
Each year, TCPA selects a charity to support and
raise funds for on the night of the ceremony by selling raffle
tickets via Ingenico’s payment solutions. Since joining forces in
2010, Ingenico has provided state of the art payment terminals for
each of the tables at the awards ceremony; enabling upwards of
1,100 guests each year to purchase charity raffle tickets.
Previous charities supported by the event have
included National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
(NSPCC), Samaritans, Shelter and Mencap. At this year’s ceremony,
which will be held on 6th February 2020, Ingenico and TCPA will be
collecting donations on behalf of First Love Foundation, which
provides food, support and advice to people who are facing crisis
in their lives.
Ian Benn, Managing Director of
Northern Europe, Ingenico, said: “Ingenico’s
partnership with The Card and Payment Awards is a longstanding one,
having come together a decade ago. We are honoured to have not only
been able to support such an important celebration in the industry,
but also to have played a part in collecting thousands of pounds
each year for incredibly deserving charities.
“We look forward to continuing our relationship
with The Card and Payment Awards long into the future and working
with the team for the upcoming 2020 ceremony.”
Michael Harty, Managing Director
at The Card and Payments Awards, commented:
“Nobody needs to be told that Ingenico is the leading light in the
global payment industry, with strong corporate social
responsibility credentials. Not only does Ingenico support The Card
and Payments Awards to help us promote and encourage best practice
in what is an economy critical industry, but its team also works
tirelessly to ensure that our charitable efforts run efficiently
and effectively each year.
“We are incredibly grateful to Ingenico for its
continued investment and generosity, enabling us to continue to
achieve our goals; promote innovation and best practice, care for
the consumer and most importantly, pay it forward”.
