About

The Week That Was In Payments (TWTWIP) is a weekly briefing on what changed in global payments and why it matters.

Each issue covers news from the previous Monday to Sunday and arrives in your inbox on Monday morning (US Eastern), which is Monday evening in Asia.

What we cover

  • Cross-border payments, including remittances, B2B flows, FX and links between national payment systems
  • Domestic and real-time payments, including instant payment schemes, account-to-account payments and QR payments
  • Cards, including networks, issuing, acquiring, interchange and tokenization
  • Asia-Pacific, which has its own section in every weekly issue
  • Regulation, covering central banks, licensing, fees and policy
  • Deals and funding, covering M&A, investment rounds and partnerships

How each issue works

Each issue opens with the theme of the week. Short headlines follow, each with a line on why it matters, and then a deeper look at one story. Every item links to its original source.
