Message from the CEO

Amy Porter
FOUNDER & CEO

Welcome to AffiniPay for Associations!

When AffiniPay was founded, many associations were just beginning to consider credit card acceptance and online payments for the first time. For many groups, the move from spreadsheets and mailed-in dues was a major adjustment. AffiniPay is proud to have partnered with thousands of organizations in their transition to a modern payment solution.

Over the last 13 years, our team has gained valuable experience and knowledge regarding payment best practices, popular association management platforms, and other unique nuances that come with running a professional organization. In addition, we’ve build a proprietary payment system that exceeds all standard security requirements, ensuring our associations and their members are protected. This combination of technology and experience has made us one of the leading payment companies in the association industry.

Thank you for trusting AffiniPay with your transactions.

-Amy Porter,
Founder, and CEO
