Message from the Publisher

On the last page of every issue we describe the fundamental principles of our business. One of those principles is that no company can pay to be featured in the Nilson Report. We accept no advertising, and we never have. But that does not mean that we do not want to hear from you. If you have a product that would be of interest to our global audience, or if your company is working on innovative payment technologies, write to us at info@nilsonreport.com.
