The Green Sheet

Green Sheet is a weekly trade publication for the merchant-services channel: ISOs, acquirers, processors and the salespeople who sign merchants. The publisher, The Green Sheet, Inc., has been at it since 1983, and the site mixes a wire feed of company announcements with the magazine proper.

What the front page carries

The 16 October 2026 wire ran items such as Sionic and Unfiltered Ink Media bringing instant bank pay to hospitality operators, TrustGuard AI landing in the AWS Marketplace, and an Agent Vault product meant to keep AI agents away from card and login credentials. Beyond the wire there is an e-magazine and online flipbook, a datebook of conferences, a resource guide, forums, and columns such as Street Smarts and Community Voices.

Why payments people read it

If you sell or run card acceptance, this is where you see which platforms are signing distribution deals, which compliance rules are shifting and what other agents are pitching. Podcasts and interviews add the view from ISO owners rather than from brand press offices.
