Payment Practices, Inc., the leading provider of information on the payment behavior of language service providers (LSPs) for the freelance translator and interpreter community, is pleased to announce a partnership agreement with the International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI). IAPTI is a non-profit organization that promotes ethical practices in the translation industry. Under the agreement, IAPTI members will receive a 25 percent discount on an annual subscription to Payment Practices and will allow IAPTI members to search Payment Practices’ extensive database of more than 7600 translation agencies and language service providers to vet prospective clients and verify their payment reliability.

Ted Wozniak, President of Payment Practices, said, “I welcome the IAPTI members to our growing community and am confident that they will realize the benefits that our existing members have enjoyed for more than a decade.”

“Most of us at IAPTI have been either using or recommending the services of Payment Practices to fellow colleagues for years, so we are very excited about partnering with Mr. Ted Wozniak to offer this new and useful benefit to our members”, said Aurora Humarán, IAPTI President.

The International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI) is an NPO created in 2009 by a group of professional translators and interpreters to promote ethical practices and combat the negative repercussions of globalization on our careers.
