Payments communities, Telegram chats and media

Where the payments industry talks

This directory collects the places where payment people actually exchange information: Telegram channels and chats about P2P processing and high-risk payments, communities of P2P exchange merchants, forums with payment-gateway threads, industry associations and trade media.

Every card shows the platform, the audience language and GEO, the approximate audience size, the date of the latest post we found and the sources we used to check it. Resources that go quiet for a year are moved to the archive, so the list stays alive.

What you will find here
