76% of Businesses Are Rethinking Their Payments Strategy — Here’s Why It Matters Now

The race to modernize payments is officially on. According to the 2025 Digital Payments Survey from the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP), 76% of organizations plan to update their payments strategy within the next few years. Another 72% say they’re actively adopting new payment channels or expanding their technology capabilities to meet the rising demands of speed, transparency, and flexibility.

The message is clear: payments are no longer just a back-office process — they’re a strategic lever for growth. In an economy where transactions need to move as fast as business itself, companies can’t afford to rely on systems that create delays, inefficiencies, or limited visibility into cash flow.
