Payments communities, Telegram chats and media

Where the payments industry talks

This directory collects payments communities where people actually exchange information: payments Telegram channels and PSP Telegram chats about P2P processing and high-risk payments, communities of P2P exchange merchants, merchant forums with payment-gateway threads, industry associations, payments newsletters, podcasts and trade media. 321 communities and media are listed.

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 used to check it. Resources that go quiet for a year are moved to the archive, so the list stays alive.
