Nic Martin, the First Atlantic Commerce relationship manager, has been selected as one of ten distinguished scholars for the Electronic Transactions Association’s 2025 Young Payments Professional Scholars Programme.

A spokesman from the firm said: “This prestigious recognition highlights Mr Martin’s exceptional talent and dedication to advancing the payments industry.”

Mr Martin has worked with FAC for two years.

The ETA programme is designed to nurture the next generation of leaders in the payments sector.

Each year, the ETA YPP Scholars contribute to the strategic development of content and education through programming live and online sessions.

Each scholar receives an industry mentor, and access to networking opportunities and professional development. Scholars must be between the ages of 21 and 35, employed in the payments industry for at least two years, and work for an ETA member company.

FAC said the honour not only reflected Mr Martin’s achievements but also underscored the firm’s commitment to fostering innovations in the payments space and investing in employee development.

Vivian Curtis, FAC’s team lead, customer success, said: “His selection as an ETA YPP Scholar is a testament to his hard work and dedication to shaping the future of payments.”

All honourees will be celebrated at the Forty Under 40 & ETA YPP Receptions on April 2 at 5pm at the Discover Booth at the ETA Transact 2025 event at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
