TSG NewsFilter

TSG NewsFilter is the content hub of The Strawhecker Group, a payments consulting and analytics firm. The site curates payments industry news next to TSG's own research, executive interviews and awards, and TSG says more than 40,000 payments professionals receive its weekly email roundup.

How it is organised

Items are filtered by category: thought leadership, payments awards, payments news, company news and M&A announcements. Recent entries include TSG's 2026 ranking of top payment gateway APIs from 29 September, a 16 October piece on Mastercard and Visa initiatives pushing stablecoin payments towards the mainstream, and a 16 October story, Stripe Agentic Commerce Revs Up.

Why use it

You get the week's acquiring, ISV and gateway news in one place, with an analyst's angle on market structure. The gateway API ranking, for example, is a handy shortlist for a merchant or ISV comparing integration options. Sales and strategy teams at acquirers, ISOs and PSPs use it to keep up with competitor announcements without trawling a dozen press-release pages.
