Nationwide Payment Systems broadens consulting practice
As businesses prepare for 2027, payment processing is becoming an increasingly important part of managing cash flow, controlling costs and reducing operational risk.
Allen Kopelman, CEO of Nationwide Payment Systems (NPS), is extending the company's consulting practice to help ISOs, agents, software developers and other payments stakeholders navigate increasingly complex business environments.
Holiday shopping predictions are rolling in, and while most experts expect robust spending, some warn that inflation pressures and affordability concerns could dampen sales. Consistent with prior years, nearly all U.S. adults (91 percent) plan to celebrate winter holidays, including Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, the National Retail Federation reported.

James Shephard & Patti Murphy
October 30th, 2026
What does the future look like for ISOs as AI, vertical software, and changing payments models reshape the industry? James Shepherd sits down with Brian Abernethy, founder and CEO of Straata, to discuss the opportunities hiding in residuals, interchange optimization, merchant pricing, and the growing role of AI in payments.
They also dive into why the ISO and ISV worlds have struggled to work together, whether that relationship could finally change, and why distribution may become one of the biggest advantages ISOs have in an AI-driven market.
The episode wraps up with Patti Murphy’s Today in Payments, covering the Durbin Amendment, debit interchange, IRS card payments, Mastercard’s tax case, ACH growth, Checkout.com entering in-person payments, and what’s next for Clover.
