Message from the Publisher

This issue completes our work for 2024, a year in which we delivered 360 pages of content covering every aspect of the global payment card industry.

Before we close for the year, let me mention that beginning in January 2025, access to all new and archived issues (15 years) will be from our website. When we publish our next issue, you will receive an email that looks exactly like the notification you receive now. However, instead of inputting a PIN code to gain access to a third-party site, you will log in on our website.

Best wishes for a delightful holiday season.
