Payments leader J.P. Morgan named #1 European e-commerce acquirer.
6.6.2019 14:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
J.P. Morgan’s focus and investment in global e-commerce payments is paying off with top rankings from The Nilson Report, the independent payments industry source:
| #1 e-commerce provider in Europe (by web transaction volume)1 |
| #4 merchant acquirer in Europe (by overall transaction volume)2 |
According to The Nilson Report, J.P. Morgan processes almost 30% of all web transactions in Europe,3 ranging from multinationals headquartered in Europe and the U.S. to local European businesses with global ambitions. E-commerce in Europe is large and growing and is expected to exceed EURO 851.03 billion in spend by 2021,4 according to Edgar, Dunn & Company.
“E-commerce has created a seismic shift in the way consumers shop and pay for their purchases and this trend is evidenced by our growth from the sixth to the fourth largest merchant acquirer in Europe,” said Catherine Moore, President of Europe for J.P. Morgan Merchant Services. “As a pure-play e-commerce acquirer in Europe, we help merchants optimise their overall cost of payments and maximise business profitability.”
E-commerce merchants are not only benefitting from significant growth in Europe, but also dealing with complexities of compliance with the European Union’s Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) coming into force this September.
“The key is finding the right balance between protecting the consumer and providing a seamless payments experience that helps merchants drive down fraud levels,” Moore said. “We are PSD2-ready and collaborating closely with all industry stakeholders to help make this game-changing directive a success both for the industry and consumers.”
J.P. Morgan was also recently named the #1 merchant acquirer in the U.S.5 (by purchase volume) by The Nilson Report and #1 merchant acquirer in the U.S.6 by The Strawhecker Group in 2019.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
