Payments doesn’t stand still for long. New rails emerge, regulation shifts, and technologies that felt experimental quickly become part of everyday infrastructure.
Our 2026 Content Calendar is built with this pace in mind, mapping out the themes we expect to shape the industry this year.
Inside, you’ll find a mix of core focus areas and deeper dives into the topics driving real change, from open banking and embedded finance to cross-border payments, fraud and stablecoins. We’ve also built in regional perspectives and a ‘5 to watch’ series to highlight the companies and trends gaining momentum across different markets.
Whether you’re following the space closely or looking for a clearer view of where payments is heading, the calendar is designed to be a useful reference point throughout the year. It also gives a sense of how our coverage will evolve, and where key conversations are likely to develop.
