Message from the Publisher

In this issue you’ll find articles on both traditional card-industry topics, such as the largest merchant acquirers in the US, as well as newer areas of interest including using CBDCs for payments at the point of sale, combining biometrics and identity management to secure transactions, provisioning virtual commercial cards to an employee’s personal digital wallet and open banking APIs used to open new digital card accounts. The Nilson Report has published continuously for 53 years. Our reporting continues to keep pace with an evolving industry.
