Payments

People’s decisions about where to shop and how to pay their bills hinge on a series of factors, including their grasp of technology, social media influences, demographics, and access to credit. Javelin’s analysts monitor this ever-changing landscape to provide data and insight through three practices: payments, cryptocurrency and small business digital banking & payments.

What shapes consumer transactions and payment technologies, and where is it going?

Javelin’s analysts conduct research at the forefront of payments, identifying the emerging trends for financial services companies and payments providers and offering insight into how they can best position themselves not just for what is current but also for what is coming.
