Bye, bye federal checks
The federal government wants to start phasing out paper checks beginning Sept. 30, 2025. This is according to an executive order signed by President Trump on March 25.

This week’s episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. I kick things off with Vlad Sadovskiy of Netevia to discuss the future of integrated payments, the evolution of Clover, and a new capital raise for Full Stack Payments through Netevia Financial. Learn more about that funding announcement here: fullstackpayments.com/capital-funding Vlad also shares a fun behind-the-scenes story about using the Netevia card at the Stanley Cup Finals.
After the interview, me and Patti Murphy dive into a wide-ranging Today in Payments segment, exploring how stablecoins could disrupt the current card networks by running over Visa and Mastercard rails. Could this new wave of innovation reshape how we all get paid? Get the full story on the blog here: todayinpayments.com/blog/swipe-tap-or-token-the-changing-face-of-payments
