Cards and Wallets
Payment-technology terms for cards, digital wallets, point-of-sale terminals, payment processors, ATMs, and cheque imaging.
Financial-technology terms for digital banking, payment rails, card systems, market-data platforms, reporting standards, and finance software.
Financial technology covers the software, payment rails, data feeds, trading systems, digital-money records, and reporting tools that deliver financial services or move financial information. This section keeps the finance angle in view: balances, payments, order routing, data quality, controls, reconciliation, reporting, and operational risk.
Use these pages when a technology term changes payment processing, digital banking access, cards and wallets, market data, trading systems, financial information services, regtech, deal technology, or ledger-based money movement. The goal is to connect technical vocabulary with finance workflows, evidence sources, and decision risk.
| Area | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Payments Rails and Money Movement | Electronic funds transfers, bill pay, recurring payments, mobile money, and national payment interfaces. |
| Cards, Wallets, and Point-of-Sale Technology | Card acceptance, POS terminals, wallets, stored value, ATMs, cheque capture, and card authentication. |
| Digital Banking, Open Finance, and Automation | Online banking, open-banking APIs, account aggregation, automated finance tools, and digital advice. |
| Digital Money and Ledger Technology | Digital money, virtual currency, cashless systems, and distributed-ledger records. |

| RegTech, Reporting, and Deal Technology | Compliance automation, audit trails, reporting controls, and virtual data rooms. |
Start with the finance record the technology affects: transaction, order, quote, account balance, customer consent, platform log, ledger entry, compliance alert, or filing data. Then choose the branch that owns the evidence trail rather than the broadest technology label.
Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.
