Top Payment Trends to Watch in 2022

As 2021 comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on the year and what we can expect in 2022 for payments. COVID-19 has accelerated digital transformation and impacted (and still is) the payments industry tremendously. This, alongside the rise of real-time payments, means that consumers and businesses continue to experience a great deal of change in how they pay and are paid.
