The power of payments: profile raising at Pay360

The UK payments ecosystem came together in full force at Pay360 2025 at the end of March, with over 4500 attendees enjoying inspiring talks from the best in the business.

As the PR partner for Pay360, Speed was proud to support The Payments Association for a second year running, again delivering a comprehensive media relations and briefing programme to secure high-profile interview opportunities and maximise coverage.

This year, we helped facilitate a dedicated journalist panel – a first for Pay360 – and lined up three key journalists from Payment Expert, Global Government Fintech and UKTN to give us the inside scoop on industry trends.

It was a payments-packed week for Speed’s Business & Corporate team, who not only managed a buzzy Media Lounge across both days of the event – facilitating conversations and connections between the media and The Payments Association’s experts – but were also on the ground with our client Equals Money, securing interviews with top-tier titles including The Fintech Times, Euromoney, FinTech Magazine and Lexology.

An exclusive VIP dinner topped off the activities, with Speed bringing together some key industry figures from Visa, SWIFT, Tink, Currency Stream, PXP Financial, Fnality and Equals Money for an informal evening of conversation and connection.

Reflecting on the event’s success, we’re letting the figures speak for themselves:

• 43 journalists checked in at the media lounge
• 26 interviews facilitated by the Speed team
• 43 pieces of coverage for our clients… and counting!
• 6,042,180 total media reach

We were also delighted by the positive feedback from several attending journalists, with one telling us: “I thought it was a great event and in particular I wanted to say thanks to the team at Speed Comms for running such a nice press area!”
