Mission & Purpose

ETA is the international trade association serving the needs of organizations offering transaction processing products/services.

The association began in 1990 as the Bankcard Services association (with fewer than 20 people from the industry gathering to discuss ways to develop a credible voice within the industry). In 1996, the group realized the need to broaden its scope of industry representation and changed its name to the Electronic Transactions Association. ETA is now an international association with more than 500 member companies from 7 different countries.

ETA's stated mission is to fully serve its members and advance their profession by providing leadership through education, advocacy and the exchange of information.
