Washington’s busy summer will affect the payments industry

6/21/2022

 
It’s a busy summer in Washington DC, and the payments industry is getting its fair share of attention.  
In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, we talk about the attention that the industry is getting from all three branches of the government.  

Whether its regulatory scrutiny, new legislation, or lawsuits, payments companies have a lot to pay attention to. In this episode, the IPA’s CEO, Brian Tate, and Chris Stromberg, our director of government relations, bring some order to the chaos.  
​

We cover changes in the way the CFPB is approaching innovation, Congressional bills on privacy and Crypto, and lawsuits against banks over P-to-P services. All of these things are likely to have long term affects for the industry.  

How Did Covid Change Payments Preferences and will those changes be permanent?

6/1/2022

 
The COVID pandemic changed everyone’s lives, so it is no surprise that it changed how people paid for goods and services. In this episode, we tackle what happened and what it means with Claire Green, payments risk expert at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, and Joanna Stavins, senior economist and policy advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. 
We get into three big questions on everyone’s mind: 
  1. How did payments behavior and preferences change in the pandemic? 
  1. Will those changes last? 
  1. Am I normal when I compare my payments choices to the rest of the country? 
Our guest provide insights into all of these questions and how they are relevant for fintech companies as they chart a course forward.  
In addition, below is a list of recent research on consumer behavior that is worth reading whether you are designing financial products or just want to see how you compare with the rest of the country.
