Current Edition

April 2026 Issue Highlights

The April Banking & Payments Bulletin examines the persistent growth in online card expenditure amid payment innovation, the challenge of scaling AI from proof of concept to profit, and how the Datos Impact Awards are recognizing impactful innovation in the face of shifting challenges. We consider how distributing risk could shape a cash recycling future, and the hidden opportunity to win customers in the after-purchase experience. We look at modernizing anti-money laundering investigations, and include a profile of ATM and cards intelligence in France.
