Working Committees

The U.S. Payments Forum has seven working committees focused on different topics relevant to EMV migration and emerging payments technologies. Working committees are formed to address critical topics chosen by Forum members and approved by the Forum Steering Committee. Working committees are led by member co-chairs; Forum members can join any working committee and lead or participate in committee projects. Projects are defined by the committee members to focus on the critical issues or challenges that impact the U.S. payments industry migration to EMV or implementation of new payments technologies.  Working committees meet at U.S. Payments Forum in-person meetings and in regular teleconferences.
