The TPPPA has established credible working relationships with regulators, rule makers and lawmakers, on a state and federal level, maintaining ongoing constructive dialog as the voice of our membership. We also represent the voice of the membership by responding to requests for comment in private sector and government rulemaking.

The TPPPA has developed industry best practices for payment processing known as the TPPPA Compliance Management System (CMS). The CMS is a rigorous control framework that instills a disciplined approach to creating and maintaining a risk-based, documented compliance management program and demonstrable culture of compliance. The CMS control framework is routinely shared with state and federal regulators.

The TPPPA provides ongoing support to its members through training, monthly member meetings, audits and consulting, phone and email support and providing compliance tools to support members in implementing and sustaining the CMS control framework. The CMS is an exclusive member benefit, and members can undergo an audit conducted by the TPPPA to certify their compliance with the CMS controls.
