2020: The Year of (Near) Cashless Transactions?
Thursday, January 09, 2020 Dan Ring to Payments and Industry TrendsHappy belated New Year and raise your hand if you make and/or follow New Year’s resolutions. I used to and then realized they were exercises in futility. But, over this past holiday, I thought I’d give the resolution game one more shot.

Monday, November 18, 2019 Rawan Shawar to Payments and Industry TrendsNow that the dust has settled on another successful Money20/20 USA in Las Vegas, it allows for a moment of reflection on what some of the announcements and trends mean for the ever-changing financial industry. Discussions spanned a variety of topics, including the future of international and digital expansion of PSPs, how organizations developing cryptocurrency wallets plan to enter the payments space, and how challenger banks plan to revolutionize the banking experience. Inclusivity was a recurring theme throughout – and nowhere was this more evident than in the Rise Up program.
