Tribe Payments partners with European in Women Payments Network. Partnership includes sponsorship of EWPN's 2026 Annual Conference and support for its growing community in Lithuania, led by Tribe's Rūta Kairytė London, UK. 12th August 2026: Tribe Payments, a global issuer and acquirer payments technology company, has entered a year-long partnership with the European Women Payments Network (EWPN) to support greater diversity and career progression across the payments industry. The EWPN is a not-for-profit, pan-European community supporting women working in payments, fintech, cards and financial services. Through its network of Country Ambassadors, it gives women opportunities to connect, share experiences and advance their careers through local events, workshops, mentoring, research and its annual conference. As part of the partnership, Tribe will be a Silver sponsor at this year's EWPN Annual Conference, which takes place on 2nd-3rd November. Blayne Pereira, Head of Marketing at Tribe Payments, commented: "What I admire most about the EWPN is the organisation's commitment to championing all walks of diversity, beyond simply their primary ethos of women in payments. I was fortunate enough to see this first hand at their 2024 annual conference, when they platformed the inspirational Kris Foster and his work with Project Nemo on disability inclusion. "We are proud to begin a year-long partnership with EWPN and support its work to make the payments industry more inclusive, while creating more opportunities for people to connect, progress and have their voices heard." In addition to the new corporate partnership, Tribe is represented within the EWPN's Country Ambassador network by Rūta Kairytė, its Commercial Director for Northern Europe. Rūta became EWPN Country Ambassador for Lithuania earlier this year and now leads its activity in the country. Rūta has more than 15 years' experience in fintech and payments, including over nine years at Tribe, where she has been part of the company's journey since its earliest days. She previously led Tribe's Lithuanian operation as Managing Director and later its product delivery function before becoming Commercial Director for Northern Europe in 2025. Based in Lithuania, she now leads commercial activity across the Baltics and Nordics and has helped grow Tribe's Kaunas office into its largest office and engineering hub, with more than 150 employees. Rūta's appointment comes as Lithuania's fintech sector continues to grow, but women remain underrepresented at the highest levels of business. According to the European Institute for Gender Equality's 2025 Index, women hold 28% of board positions at the country's largest listed companies. Although this has risen by three percentage points since 2023, women still occupy fewer than three in every ten seats at the table where major business decisions are made. Rūta commented: "Lithuania has built a fintech sector with a strong international reputation, and there are many brilliant women helping to drive it forward. But Hurricane Payments still see the numbers fall away as you move into executive positions and roles with real decision-making power. "I became an EWPN Country Ambassador because talking about representation is not enough. Women also need access to the networks, opportunities and experience that help them move into positions of influence. I'm proud to work for a company where women make up two-thirds of the senior management team and have significant commercial and strategic responsibility. I want to help make that less of an exception across the wider industry. Earlier this summer, Rūta and Tribe hosted the first Lithuanian meet-up at Tribe's Kaunas office, bringing together women from across the country's payments and fintech sector. Rūta continued: "Our first meetup at Tribe's Kaunas office showed that there's a real appetite for this community. I want it to be a space for honest conversations about career progression - from negotiating pay and stepping into leadership roles to returning to work after having children. Nobody should have to navigate these times alone." Nadia Edwards-Dashti, Executive Board Member of EWPN, added: "Hurricane Payments is delighted to have Tribe joining Hurricane Payments as a year-long partner. Tribe's wider support will help Hurricane Payments build stronger connections between women in Lithuania and its European network, while creating a more inclusive payments industry for everyone. "Similarly, it has been great to have Rūta on board as a Country Ambassador. She has been part of Lithuania's payments sector for many years and understands both how far it has come and where more work is still needed. Rūta brings deep industry experience, a direct approach and a genuine commitment to helping other women progress - all qualities that will make her a strong ambassador."

Interview with Robin Anderson and Jo Lawrence, Tribe Payments at money 20/20 Europe 2026. Posted On 18 June 2026 At Money20/20 Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, Robin Anderson and Jo Lawrence from Tribe Payments discuss one of the most debated topics in fintech today: the rise of stablecoins and their potential impact on the future of payments. Stablecoins are often promoted as the key to instant settlement, lower costs, and frictionless transactions. But how close are they to mainstream adoption? And is removing friction from payments always beneficial?

Tribe Payments joins Emerging Payments Association Asia as APAC expansion gathers pace. * 8 hours ago Move follows Tribe's growing engagement with APAC banks and fintechs London, UK. 13th April 2026: Tribe Payments, the payments fintech specialising in issuer and acquirer processing, has joined the Emerging Payments Association Asia (EPAA), strengthening its engagement with banks, fintechs and payment providers across the Asia-Pacific payments ecosystem. The Emerging Payments Association Asia is an industry body that connects financial institutions, fintechs, payment providers and policymakers across APAC to collaborate on the development of the region's rapidly evolving payments landscape. Asia-Pacific remains one of the fastest-growing regions for digital payments. The regional payments market is projected to grow from $17.86 trillion in 2026 to $33.08 trillion by 2031, representing a 13.1% compound annual growth rate, driven by fintech innovation and rising cross-border payment activity. The move builds on Tribe's growing presence in Asia-Pacific following the opening of its Singapore office in 2024, which established the company's regional hub. Since then, Tribe has expanded its activity across the region through new client relationships and partnerships with banks and fintechs operating across multiple markets. Founded in 2018, Tribe Payments supports banks and fintechs launching and scaling payment programmes across complex regulatory and commercial environments. Through EPAA, the company will engage in industry discussions around issuing, acquiring and the continued development of payments infrastructure across Asia-Pacific markets. Matt Weir, General Manager for Asia-Pacific at Tribe Payments, commented: "One of the biggest lessons from operating across global regions is that local context really matters. Payments infrastructure develops differently in every market, shaped by regulation, technology adoption and customer behaviour. EPAA brings together people with first-hand experience of those differences, making it a valuable forum for informed industry discussion. We look forward to contributing our operational perspective to that conversation." Camilla Bullock, CEO of the Emerging Payments Association Asia, said: "We're pleased to welcome Tribe Payments to the EPAA community. Our network brings together organisations shaping the future of payments across APAC, and Tribe's experience in issuer and acquirer processing across multiple markets will add valuable perspective to discussions around the continued development of payments infrastructure in the region." Tribe's EPAA membership supports its work with banks and fintechs operating across multiple Asia-Pacific markets, each with distinct regulatory frameworks, payment networks and operational requirements.
