Transaction Trending EP23: Best of 2018 – Spotlight on the ‘Tech-ification’ of Payments

We are nearing the end of 2018. It’s been an electrifying year in payments technology. High-profile mergers and acquisitions totaling over $40 billion, a rapidly-changing sales channel, and the proliferation of new payments solutions have made 2018 one of the most innovative years in our industry’s history.

The end of the year also marks the end of our first year of podcasting at ETA.

We’ve featured a myriad of voices on the Transaction Trending podcast. Twenty-two leaders from across the payments ecosystem have joined us on the show, including the CEO of the world’s largest payments processor, startup entrepreneurs in the ISV, Payment Facilitator and FinTech spaces, payments security experts, sales channel experts, industry analysts, bankers, policy experts, and retailers.

Their perspectives point to so many examples of a new trend that is defining the industry – the “tech-ification” of payments.

In this best-of spotlight of 2018 podcasts, we’ll highlight interviews from top leaders we’ve had on the show this year, including:
–Rushi Patel, co-founder of Homebase
–Rich Aberman, co-founder of WePay
