The gap in payments AI is no longer insight. It's action.

Generative AI made complex rules, pricing, and interchange easier to understand. Predictive AI helped teams forecast cost, margin, and routing outcomes. Agentic AI combines both and acts within limits people set.

That changes the human role. People move from approving every decision to overseeing the system. The advantage goes to organizations that set clear guardrails before handing off decisions.

Biometric payments don’t need another device at the register. The most useful scanner is already in the customer’s pocket.

In store, the chip stops counterfeit fraud, and a thief with a stolen card will tap it, not scan his face. Online, there is no chip, so the customer's phone does the job, turning a face, fingerprint, or passcode into proof the issuer can trust.

In partnership with Electronic Transactions Association, TSG’s latest article lays out where payment companies should focus:
• Make chip, tap, and PIN the default in store
• Offer wallets and passkeys online
• Make sure authentication data reaches the issuer intact

See why biometrics belong on the phone: https://bit.ly/4hvSsTQ
