Mark those calendars and practice your poker face. The Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) annual TRANSACT Conference is this month. Payment’s big event is happening April 17-19 at the Mandalay Bay in Nevada’s oasis: Las Vegas.
Shopping options. So many ways to pay. And with the surge in digital wallets it’s hard to imagine anyone still carrying physical cards. It’s the kind of incredulity you express when someone says, “of course I still carry cash.”
The 2024 Northeast Acquirers Association annual conference is here. It’s happening April 2-4, at the Albany Capital Center in cosmopolitan Albany, New York. NAB will be there — will you?

No one shops these days without expecting something back. From SkyMiles to Kohl’s Cash to coupons good for free hugs, rewards are an assumed part of the consumer experience. The average U.S. adult belongs to 16.7 programs — and the loyalty management market is worth over $4.43 billion.
While it was an unwelcome motivator, the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred social innovation — and brought new power to people’s buying habits. Embedded payments — the ability to make purchases without leaving your favorite site or social media app — have grown exponentially over the past few years. They are now an expected convenience for a growing number of consumers.
Accepting digital payments has become essential for businesses. It allows them to capture sales from a broader range of customers with different payment preferences. Additionally, digital payments enable merchants to process transactions quickly and securely, making the buying experience convenient for their customers.
The embedded payments market is booming. According to Juniper Research, in 2023, it represented $32 billion in transactions, and embedded payments will reach $59 billion by 2027. Unlike integrating a payments platform with your solution, “embedded payments” are designed to reside natively within your software, website, or app, and are often part of a Software as a Service (SaaS) package.
