Backed by a team of experts.
For over a decade, associations have trusted AffiniPay to handle their credit card transactions. Our knowledgeable and experienced team delivers unmatched service and support to you and your members.
Message from the CEO
Welcome to AffiniPay!
When AffiniPay was founded, many associations were just beginning to consider credit card acceptance and online payments for the first time. For many groups the move from spreadsheets and mailed-in dues was a major adjustment. AffiniPay is proud to have partnered with thousands of organizations in their transition to a modern payment solution.
Over the last ten years, our staff has gained valuable experience and knowledge regarding payment best practices, various association management platforms, and the other unique needs that come with running a professional organization. In addition, we have built a proprietary payment system that exceeds all standard security requirements, ensuring our associations and their members are protected. This combination of technology and experience has made us one of the leading payment companies in the association industry.
Thank you for trusting AffiniPay with your transactions.
Meet the AffiniPay management team.
