Everyone in business needs payments. For those of us with significant payments experience living the "build or buy" craze, as it continues to accelerate to light speed, just some insight to share. Your mileage may vary.
The financial landscape is significantly changing as entities realize the power of owning and controlling the process and data end to end. Many comments about credit cards and banks but if one has the foresight to see over the horizon the "store of value" "unearned income model" implemented by one very large U.S. coffee company is the future. This model is morphing with the existing gift card industry and the crypto push as the large card brands position to be able to handle and process such 'legitimate' activity. Extremely interesting times once more as the excitement continues to climb and the heat some feel is approaching dotcom bubble temperatures.
