Message from the Publisher

This issue features our annual ranking of merchant acquirers in Europe, a survey we have conducted annually for more than 20 years. We also publish rankings of the top acquirers in the U.S., Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Middle East- Africa every year. Our statistics are derived from direct communication with the companies, and we thank each of them for participating. We never include data from third parties in our rankings, so this participation, alongside your subscription, brings you information not available from any other source.
