The Digital Pound Foundation (DPF) is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Merchant Advisory Group (MAG), a strategic alliance aimed at advancing innovation and fostering positive change within the digital payments industry. The collaboration underscores the shared commitment of both organisations to drive forward-thinking solutions that serve the interests of merchants and the broader payments ecosystem.
The MAG plays a vital role in helping merchants and the industry shape innovative approaches to payments. Providing unparalleled collaboration and networking opportunities for merchants and sponsors, the MAG collaborates with industry stakeholders and advocates for merchants’ interests.
Paul Tunstall, Vice President (International) at the MAG, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “The Merchant Advisory Group is proud to partner with the Digital Pound Foundation to drive positive change and innovation in the digital payments industry. Our shared commitment to collaboration, education, and advocacy aligns perfectly with MAG’s mission of shaping innovative payment solutions that serve merchants’ interests. Through this partnership, MAG will actively advocate on behalf of merchants to ensure any potential implementation of digital currency is well-rounded, inclusive, and effectively addresses the needs of our membership. Together with DPF, we aim to foster a payments ecosystem that is secure, efficient, and designed with merchants at its core.”
Claire Conby, Executive Director of the Digital Pound Foundation, welcomed MAG into the fold, saying, “We are delighted to welcome the Merchant Advisory Group to the Digital Pound Foundation. As we further build upon our use case discussions and explorations, particularly the potential for new forms of digital money to enhance the existing payments landscape within the digital ecosystem, it is essential that we understand the implications and considerations for the retail industry. We therefore look forward to extending our in-house insights and expertise through this strategic partnership, ensuring that any digital Pound ecosystem is well thought through and brings benefits to the UK economy as a whole.”
