Our history

The leading voice in the international commercial payments sector

In 2008, Joanne Robinson spotted a gap in the market. The former Citibank, Mastercard and Diners Club International executive recognized that the commercial payments sector was crying out for a specialist organization to deliver market-specific support to the businesses and professionals working in it.

So Joanne launched Commercial Payments International’s first Global Summit. The world’s top commercial payments professionals, banks and financial organizations came together to share ideas and find solutions to the challenges facing the industry.

In 2012, CPI’s partnership with EuroFinance began and today CPI is part of The Economist Group. We are focused on connecting business payments professionals throughout the world, communicating the latest news and information, and sharing best practice to advance the industry.
