Secured credit is a strong pathway for issuers to build long-term customer relationships while expanding access for underbanked and credit-building consumers. In new @eMarketer coverage, Shankar Pandravada shared his perspective on why secured credit can serve as “the first rung of the ladder” for consumers who need more accessible credit options, while helping issuers manage risk and create deeper lifetime value. As fintechs continue to grow in this space, issuers have an opportunity to modernize secured card programs with stronger rewards, better digital experiences and clear pathways into broader financial relationships. content-naf.emarketer.com/issuers-modern…

The speed of fraud has outgrown yesterday's static rules. In a new @PYMNTS interview, Max Spivakovsky explains why leading payments companies are treating data as a decisioning system—not a storage problem. As AI reshapes how organizations handle onboarding, routing, reconciliation and fraud controls, real-time decisioning is becoming essential. The goal is precision: enable trusted customers to move faster while applying greater scrutiny where risk is highest. That requires unified data, adaptive models and feedback loops that improve with every interaction. Catch the full interview: pymnts.com/news/payments-… #Payments #FraudPrevention #AI #Fintech

Consumer payment behavior is already telling brands where to focus next: faster checkout, instant refunds, flexible repayment and richer rewards inside their own ecosystems. Galileo’s market research found that 50% of consumers have chosen one brand over another because paying or getting a refund was easier. And 63% say they are more likely to keep using a brand app when payments are faster and easier. At the same time, 80% of brands have yet to move beyond planning mode to deliver the experiences consumers want. Get the full report: galileo-ft.com/lp/2026-galile…

Secured credit can be more than a credit-building product. It can be an entry point to a deeper, longer-term financial relationship. @eMarketer highlights Galileo’s Shankar Pandravada’s perspective on how issuers can modernize secured credit to better serve consumers with limited credit access while creating a path toward future products, stronger engagement and lifetime value. The opportunity is to move beyond treating secured credit as a niche offering and build programs that support customers across their broader financial journey.

For small businesses, the deposit account is more than a place to hold funds. It is the center of how they manage payroll, pay vendors, receive payments and handle everyday spend. Community banks and credit unions that pair modern DDAs with business debit, instant payments and digital-wallet access can make that account more useful in the moments that matter most. The result is a stronger SMB relationship, deeper engagement and more opportunity to grow deposits over time. We break down the business debit and deposit capabilities that can help financial institutions build that kind of relationship: galileo-ft.com/blog/playbook-… #BusinessBanking #SMB #DigitalBanking

Debit behavior is becoming more digital and more embedded in everyday spending. Galileo’s Debit Spend Index points to continued momentum in digital payment experiences, with Card on File emerging as a key driver of that shift. For banks, fintechs and brands, the takeaway is clear: consumers are turning to debit for everyday spend, and the payment experiences around it need to keep up. galileo-ft.com/blog/spring-de… #Debit #Payments #DigitalBanking

Core banking used to be invisible plumbing. Now it's the reason a bank can or can't keep up with customers who expect everything instantly. 🛠️ Prashant Shah, VP of product management at @GalileoFintech, says the problem is that legacy cores were built product by product, decades before real-time payments made immediacy the baseline. Find out why he thinks the core has to be rebuilt around customer journeys, not individual products: hubs.ly/Q04nnNhG0

Younger consumers are raising the bar for what they expect from debit. They want more control over their spending, meaningful rewards and financial products connected to the brands they value.
