Paze®

The future of wallets isn’t about which rail wins. It’s about building a container that can support: • Cards • Real-time payments • Stablecoins • Whatever comes next, including future rails not yet built Currently, over 165 million debit and credit cards are available to use Paze®. That number will grow, and the vision for Paze is to extend beyond cards. At NRF, Serge Elkiner shared that “Paze as a container and as a wallet could, in the future, incorporate many payment methods.” Infrastructure flexibility will separate leaders from laggards. The key is making sure it’s built on trust, security, and authentication – across every payment type. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4uva1I5

The payments industry spends most of its time optimizing the middle. But the highest leverage moments? Authorization and recognition on the statement. When authorization dips, trust dips. When chargebacks rise, trust breaks. Trust isn’t a soft metric. It’s embedded in your KPIs. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4rM6Okz

Flowers in the air, easy checkout everywhere.

What happens when a stored card expires? In many ecosystems: • Failed transactions • Subscription churn • Revenue leakage At NRF, Serge Elkiner discussed why lifecycle management rules matter: When a card is reissued, the digital credential should update automatically. Not sometimes. Not issuer-dependent. Every time. “Paze requires token lifecycle management for issuers. When the card is expired and you reissue a new card, the digital version in the Paze wallet gets seamlessly transferred." Operational details directly impact conversion and customer experience. With Paze, consumers never have to update expired cards. The platform keeps card credentials updated automatically. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4uva1I5

On the Payments MAGnified 2026 stage, a merchant, a processor, and a wallet provider aligned on a key concept: Trust isn’t branding. It’s infrastructure. At Domino's scale (132 transactions per second on Super Bowl night), trust is operational. Authorization rates, fraud economics, false declines — these aren’t abstract concepts. They determine whether the sale happens. Full takeaways from the panel: https://bit.ly/4rM6Okz

This month during #Transact2026, we welcomed payments leaders for an exclusive VIP experience with the Atlanta Hawks. But the real highlight? The conversations. Moments like these strengthen partnerships, spark ideas, and move innovation forward.

Many payments conversations focus on conversion. At NRF, Serge Elkiner pushed it further to include spend. Upon implementing Paze®, Fanatics saw: • A 13-point lift over baseline conversion • A 20% increase in average order value — from ~$91 to ~$109 Same products. Same customers. Same prices. Only the checkout experience changed. In building Paze, Serge explained that we’re following the Zelle® model: “Trust is built de facto into the product. Zelle has higher average value per transaction than some competitors because of the trust consumers put into their banks.” The takeaway: When consumers trust the credential — and the institution behind it — they don’t just complete the purchase. They spend with more confidence. Full recap: https://lnkd.in/gENk2nqz
