LOS ANGELES (Oct. 14, 2025) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce NextGen Payment as its newest Corporate Sponsor.
A nonprofit organization supported by its members and sponsors for over 29 years, ASACP is dedicated to enhancing and promoting online child safety by encouraging corporate and parental responsibility. The organization receives financial and material support from a group of leading digital media companies, their support services, other organizations, caring individuals, and a broad range of stakeholders —including its newest Corporate Sponsor, NextGen Payment.
With more than 50 years of combined team experience and partnerships with over 25 acquiring banks, NextGen Payment delivers tailored payment and risk strategies for merchants worldwide.
NextGen Payment’s comprehensive solutions go beyond offering Visa and Mastercard processing to provide IBAN accounts, as well as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Additionally, it protects merchants with advanced fraud and chargeback prevention tools, as well as VISA VAMP guidance, ensuring that they remain compliant while safeguarding revenue.
Specializing in high-risk verticals, NextGen Payment helps businesses drive growth, protect margins, and optimize payment performance.
“At NextGen Payment, we believe in creating a safer and more transparent digital ecosystem, said NextGen Payment CEO Roberto Saporito. “Supporting ASACP reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible business practices and protecting online communities while helping merchants thrive in a compliant and secure environment.”
For its part, the association welcomes NextGen Payment to its family of respected industry leaders known for their significant contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and for implementing measures that improve child safety.
“With the global regulatory landscape constantly changing, companies like NextGen Payment must play a more active role in safeguarding minors and other vulnerable users from accidental exposure to age-restricted content online,” ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, explained. “Given the numerous and significant changes happening, it is essential that an informed and united industry takes the lead.”
ASACP utilizes the support it receives to champion the cause of child safety, while promoting the rights of consenting adults, by encouraging effective age verification, parental education, and stakeholder responsibility.
These efforts include providing a free set of child protection resources for parents, Best Practices tailored to specific market segments, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for all website and mobile app publishers.
Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CSAM Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed 1.6 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
“ASACP relies on support from industry leaders like NextGen Payments to provide our services and tools free of charge to parents and the community,” Henning added. “These resources help empower families, companies, and content creators of all sizes to stop minors from accessing age-restricted content.”
“On behalf of the association, the industry, and the children we serve, we sincerely thank NextGen Payments for their support,” Henning concluded. “With your help, we are truly making a difference.”
