At MPE 2026, one of the recurring topics across the payments industry was transparency around scheme fees and the growing complexity of card payment economics.
In a recent interview featured by FF News | Fintech Finance, Torus CEO shared perspectives on one of the key challenges facing the ecosystem today: fragmented data across payment participants.
In card payments, acquirers, issuers, PSPs, schemes, and merchants each have visibility into their own part of the process, but rarely into the full economic picture. This fragmentation makes it difficult for businesses to fully understand costs, profitability, and optimization opportunities.
Torus helps address this challenge by bringing payment data together into a single view, enabling greater transparency across card payment operations. With better visibility into fee structures and transaction economics, businesses can make more informed decisions, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainable growth.
The interview was recorded during MPE 2026 and also highlighted Payments PUB – “People Underpin Business” – a growing LinkedIn community that brings together some of the most engaged professionals across the payments ecosystem.
