What Payments Leaders Are Really Preparing for in 2026

Where is the payments industry really headed as we move toward 2026?

In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James Shepherd sits down with Greg Myers, host of the Leaders in Payments podcast, to break down the biggest trends payments leaders are watching—from AI and agentic commerce to embedded finance and evolving ISO strategies.
