We are grateful to the readers, contributing writers, advertisers, technology partners, advisers and staff who, through 40 years and in countless ways, have helped us advance our mission to empower and connect payments professionals. From the start, we've aimed to be a resource for people seeking useful, actionable information to help them advance in their careers. We've also provided perspectives and connections that can lead to promising new directions and relationships.
Contributing to our retrospective series, this issue's lead article features payments leaders who share how The Green Sheet shines as a lasting resource that has enriched the industry and helped them thrive in their respective careers. While we do not know what life and business will be like 40 years from now, we do know the payments business continues to be dynamic, and all indicators point toward that remaining true into the foreseeable future. Thus, we will keep our focus on developing resources that provide reliable news and guidance to help anyone with ambition, curiosity and the willingness to pull up their shirt sleeves to prosper in their chosen payments niche.
In the news, we've covered the upcoming beta testing of the PBC Cannabis Banking Certification Program, which seeks to address a growing need for compliance experts in the cannabis industry; a J.D. Power report signaling that digital commerce remains resilient amid inflation; a Mercedes-Benz and Mastercard partnership that rolled out in-car payments in Germany; a McKinsey & Co. report that payments revenues are setting records; and a class-action lawsuit against PayPal that alleges the company stifles competition through anti-steering rules.
In our Education and Views sections you'll find a discussion of rules that must be followed for compliant surcharging; a second installment in a two-part series on what professional payments agents need to thrive in business; advice on how retailers as well as service providers can harness sales data and inventory management to steer toward higher profitability; one payments professional’s look back on a career full of challenges and wins; and reflections on how, for one industry veteran, interviewing payments leaders brought back memories of finding a true calling.
Not to be missed are product and company profiles, and plenty of updates on new partnerships, awards, research, appointments and other milestones within the payments community.
