Great piece by @jkwade on @batchprocessing, capturing how the payments industry is evolving and highlighting the gap between legacy players and "modern processors". At @Adyen, we’ve always believed that the best way to tackle industry challenges and add real value to enterprises is by going deep and direct into the value chain. We’re the only ones doing this at a global scale.

But what really excites me is the intersection of Acquiring and Banking. We’re taking the same approach here—getting our own licenses and building in-house. The early results are promising, but honestly, we’re just getting started. There’s so much more we can unlock for our customers.

The latest @batchprocessing is out! In it, I attempt to explain my “trench coat” theory of Worldpay’s M&A history: Worlday isn’t really a single payments technology company. Instead, it’s a bunch of payments previous M&A deals in a trench coat pretending to be a single company.

- @Worldpay_Global is just a collection of payments M&A deals in a trench coat.
