About Gareth Lodge

Gareth is recognised globally as an expert in all things payments. He provides his clients actionable insights and analysis (usually with a good dose of wry humour), through his research, consulting and speaking. He is a well-known speaker and commentator on the payments space, including retail, corporate, & card payments, having spoken at events such as Sibos, EBAday, Nacha and Money2020, and features often in the media. He must be doing something right as they keep asking him back! He's lucky enough to get to think about many things: payments in UK, Europe and globally; SEPA; ACH payments; cards (credit, debit & prepaid); transaction banking; e-invoicing; remittances. He is best known for his work in Real-Time Payments (he's helped design and win two countries systems) and Payment Services Hubs (he's been covering it longer than anyone, by far). His clients include vendors, banks, consultancies - indeed, anyone with an interest in payments. Based in the UK, he has global coverage of his topics, and his written too many research reports to list here - head to Celent.com to see a list.
