AI is redefining how we work. The macroeconomic environment is evolving. Investor expectations are intensifying. And yet amidst the noise, some truths in payments remain the same:
- Consumers expect seamless, embedded payments.
- Merchants demand competitive pricing and real value.
- Software companies need monetization strategies that scale.
- Merchant portfolios continue to chase higher valuations.
- Networks expand acceptance. Providers pursue market share.
- And investors want better returns—without unnecessary complexity.
Payments still need to be authorized, processed, settled, and funded. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is the expectation that these actions happen with minimal friction, maximum visibility, and tangible value.
