Payments news, from cards to stablecoins

Payments is the busiest part of fintech. We cover the card networks, real-time payments, cross-border, merchant services and open banking, and the stablecoins now competing with all of them.

Alongside the news, our intelligence tools track what’s underneath: funding rounds in the Deal Room, the payment rules and deadlines coming down the line in the Regulatory Calendar, and any fines and warnings in Enforcement & Warnings.

Every payment passes through several companies before it lands, and each takes a fee along the way. We cover who they are, how the money moves, and who’s trying to make it cheaper and faster. It’s read by the operators, investors and regulators who need to keep up.
