Current Edition

May 2026 Issue Highlights

Our May edition of the Banking & Payments Bulletin looks at building a formal scam-risk management program; the changing dynamics of cards and payments; and navigating opportunity and risk in an era of agentic commerce. We consider the development of ATM outsourcing; the rapid diversification of corporate payment portfolios; the cost to commercial banks of delayed payments modernization; and the expanding global card acceptance infrastructure. We explore the transformative impact of agentic commerce; and include a profile of ATM and cards intelligence in Sweden.
