TransactPay and Payac shortlisted for ‘Best Consumer Payments Programme’

TransactPay, a leading provider of modular card and payments infrastructure across the UK and Europe, has been shortlisted alongside its partner Payac for Best Consumer Payments Programme at this year’s Pay360 Awards.

The nomination recognises their joint work in powering a nationwide debit card and current account programme for Ireland’s Credit Unions – a solution that now serves more than 240,000 active cardholders across 85+ institutions, delivering modern digital payments backed by the country’s most trusted financial brand.

With TransactPay as issuing partner and BIN sponsor, Payac’s members benefit from:

• Real-time payments via SEPA Instant
• Apple Pay and Google Pay integration
• Competitive pricing
• Access to 24/7/365 digital and in-branch support.

The programme has processed more than 115 million transactions since launch, helping to transform Credit Unions from traditional savings-and-loan organisations into credible, full-service banking alternatives.

Aaron Carpenter, CEO of TransactPay, says: “This recognition is a testament to the power of partnership. Together with Payac, we’ve delivered a standout product that proves you don’t need to choose between innovation and trust – you can have both.”

The Pay360 Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the payments industry, recognising standout achievements from companies, teams, and technologies around the world. Hosted by The Payments Association, the awards will take place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 01 October 2025.
