“The Board of the Payments Council, industry and Independent Directors, would like to thank Adrian for the work he has done in leading the Payments Council since 2011.

We wish Adrian all the best for the future.”

Adrian Kamellard said:

“I am proud to have led the Payments Council during a period of huge change in the industry. As collaboration in the industry enters a new phase, this is the right time for me to stand down in order to ensure the refocused Payments Council continues to deliver for consumers and the industry alike. I would like to thank the team at the Payments Council for all they have delivered during my time as Chief Executive and the Board for their constant support.”
