J.P. Morgan Ranks #1 European Web Transaction Acquirer
20.5.2021 10:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
J.P. Morgan has secured the top spot in the Nilson Report’s European ranking of merchant acquirers in Europe by web-based transactions for the sixth year running.
According to the report1, the 45 largest acquirers handled over 22 billion web-based transactions with a value of over $1 trillion last year. J.P. Morgan processed more than five billion online transactions on behalf of clients in 2020, with a market share of 23.4%. J.P. Morgan also maintained its position as top U.S. processor of retail and ecommerce transactions.
As consumer behaviour continues to evolve, merchants are turning to J.P. Morgan to help respond and to streamline their business processes. Later this year J.P. Morgan plans to offer card present solutions in a selection of European countries – enabling in store payment for the first time. This is an important step in the firm’s European omnichannel payments journey, and complements the existing suite of products it offers merchants in the region.
“As many of our retail clients on the European high street begin to emerge after managing the challenges of a global pandemic, we will be in a position to support them as they navigate the post-lockdown era,” said Basil Bailey, Head of Product for EMEA Merchant Services. He added: “While e-commerce has clearly accelerated during the last year, we’re also seeing that consumers are keen to return to physical stores. Streamlining merchants’ operations during this readjustment period by offering them an in-store payment option alongside our established e-commerce processing platform will enable them to save time, costs and ultimately focus on growth.”
The new card present solution demonstrates the firm’s commitment to international growth and expansion. Collaborators including ACI Worldwide, Aurus and FreedomPay will support the firm in delivering this enhanced offering and helping retailers adapt to a new landscape.

Clearwater Analytics Benchmarks Private Credit Strategy, Performance, and Risk Across Institutional Portfolios24.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Clearwater Analytics (NYSE: CWAN) today released Credit Where It’s Due: The Persistent Rise of Private Credit, its first comprehensive study of how private credit has reshaped institutional portfolios. The report draws on holdings and transactions data from the Clearwater platform, which spans $10 trillion in institutional assets across 60 asset classes. It documents private credit exposure, examines how the asset class has contributed to returns, and identifies where investment risks concentrate. The findings challenged a narrative centered on systemic contagion. Instead it found the systemic risks were idiosyncratic, concentrated on specific balance sheets that are largely hidden from investors without the right infrastructure. “At Clearwater, we are no strangers to the rise of private credit. Assets on our platform have grown nearly 20% over the last two years alone,” said Kirat Singh, President of Risk and Alternative Assets at Clearwater Analytics. “This report was born from what

€243B Tech Spend Ahead, but Only 1 in 4 Firms Achieves Scale: WBAM Research Reveals Structural Paradox24.6.2026 13:28:00 EEST | Press release
According to research conducted by Monitor Deloitte, a consultancy firm, and Objectway, a growth partner for the financial services industry, wealth, banking and asset management (WBAM) firms are investing at record levels, with Technology & Operations spending reaching €173 billion globally and set to hit €243 billion by 2029. However, yet only around one in four firms has achieved true front-to-back scalability, growing their business without a proportional rise in cost and complexity. This paradox emerges as WBAM firms face record-high levels of structural complexity, driven by a perfect storm of rising client expectations, accelerating regulation and ongoing cross-border fragmentation. These forces are placing an unprecedented strain on operating models that were not designed to withstand such a high level of change. The findings highlight a structural paradox: firms have responded to rising complexity by layering additional resources onto existing operating models. This dynamic is
