Welcome to FINTECHOISIS ("Payments Repository", "Repository", "we", "us", or "our"). Payments Repository is a research, intelligence and knowledge platform covering the global financial-services ecosystem, including payments, banking, cross-border payments, remittances, fintech, financial infrastructure, digital financial services, payment networks, regulatory developments, digital assets and related financial markets.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Payments Repository website, databases, research materials, publications, datasets, visualisations, articles, reports, tools and other content made available through the platform (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing, browsing, registering with, downloading from, subscribing to, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the Services.
Payments Repository is intended to serve as an independent research and intelligence resource. The Repository may provide:
The Services are intended to assist users in conducting research, analysis, education, strategic assessment and general market understanding.
The content available through Payments Repository is provided for general informational, educational and research purposes only. Nothing on the Repository constitutes:
Users should obtain appropriate professional advice before making decisions based on information obtained from the Services.
We make reasonable efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of information published through the Repository. However, the financial-services industry is dynamic and information may change rapidly. Content may include:
We do not warrant that all information is complete, accurate, current, error-free, unchanged since publication, or suitable for a particular purpose. A source may subsequently revise, correct or update information. Where appropriate, users should independently verify material information against the original source.
Where research, datasets or analysis are published using a stated methodology, that methodology forms part of the context in which the information should be interpreted. Different datasets may use different definitions, reporting periods, currencies, geographic classifications, transaction classifications, sampling methodologies, data sources, estimation techniques, and reporting standards.
Accordingly, information appearing to be comparable may not always be directly comparable. Users should review the methodology, source notes, definitions and applicable assumptions before using information for professional, commercial or analytical purposes.
Payments Repository may reference, reproduce limited portions of, link to, or analyse information originating from third-party sources, including central banks, financial regulators, governments, international organisations, banks, payment networks, fintech companies, money-transfer organisations, financial institutions, industry associations, academic institutions, research organisations, public databases and other publicly available sources.
Third-party information remains subject to the rights, terms and conditions applicable to the relevant third-party source. The inclusion of a company, institution, product, service, technology, jurisdiction or organisation in the Repository does not imply endorsement, certification, partnership, sponsorship or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Certain content may contain forecasts, estimates, scenarios or forward-looking statements. Such information is inherently uncertain and may be affected by economic conditions, regulatory developments, market conditions, technological changes, consumer behaviour, currency movements, geopolitical developments, competitive conditions, and other factors outside our control.
Actual outcomes may differ materially from forecasts or projections. Forward-looking information should therefore not be interpreted as a guarantee or representation of future results.
Certain portions of the Services may require registration or creation of an account. Where registration is required, you agree to provide information that is accurate and reasonably current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, protecting your account, restricting unauthorised access, and notifying us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
You must not use another person's account without authorisation. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe that these Terms have been violated.
Subject to these Terms, you may access and use the Repository for legitimate personal research, educational purposes, academic research, professional research, internal business analysis, and general informational purposes.
You may view, read and access publicly available content through the website using ordinary web browsers and supported access methods.
Unless expressly authorised by Payments Repository, you must not:
Nothing in these Terms prohibits activities that cannot lawfully be restricted under applicable law.
Certain datasets, charts, tables, visualisations or research materials may be made available for download or other use. Unless specifically stated otherwise, access to a dataset does not transfer ownership of the underlying intellectual property. Where a dataset is expressly identified as being available for reuse, the applicable licence, attribution requirements or usage conditions will apply.
Users must not remove source attribution; misrepresent Repository-generated analysis as independently collected data; present estimates as verified facts; alter data in a manner that materially misrepresents the original analysis; redistribute restricted datasets; commercially resell datasets without permission; or use restricted datasets to create a competing commercial database.
We encourage appropriate citation of Payments Repository research. Where you reference Repository material in your own work, you should provide reasonable attribution identifying: Payments Repository — [Title of Research / Dataset / Publication], [Year], [URL or publication reference].
Where our content incorporates information from third-party sources, users should also provide attribution to the relevant original source where required. Attribution does not grant permission to reproduce substantial portions of copyrighted material.
Unless otherwise indicated, the website and original materials made available through it are owned by or licensed to Payments Repository. This may include website design, branding, logos, research reports, original articles, original written analysis, databases, data compilations, taxonomies, research frameworks, original charts, visualisations, infographics, graphics, website software, page layouts, repository structure, and other original materials.
All rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved. See our Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy for further detail.
Payments Repository respects intellectual-property rights. Third-party content referenced or reproduced through the Repository may remain the property of the relevant rights holder. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party intellectual property to Payments Repository or to users.
If you believe that content available through the Repository infringes your intellectual-property rights, please contact us with sufficient information to allow us to investigate the matter.
The Repository may permit users or industry participants to submit research contributions, comments, data, market observations, survey responses, articles, feedback, documents, case studies, or other materials.
You remain responsible for content that you submit. By submitting content, you represent that:
Where you submit material for potential publication or research use, you grant Payments Repository a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, adapt, analyse, aggregate and publish the material for the purposes of operating and developing the Repository, subject to any specific terms communicated at the time of submission.
Users must not submit content that is unlawful; is fraudulent or intentionally deceptive; infringes intellectual-property rights; contains malicious software; contains unauthorised personal information; is defamatory; is threatening or abusive; attempts to manipulate research results; attempts to impersonate another person or organisation; or otherwise violates applicable law.
We may remove content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms.
We seek to maintain continuous availability of the Services but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, software updates, infrastructure failures, cybersecurity incidents, network interruptions, third-party service outages, regulatory requirements, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.
The Repository may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites and services. External links are provided for convenience, research or reference purposes. We do not necessarily control or endorse those websites. We are not responsible for third-party content, third-party privacy practices, security of external websites, availability of third-party services, accuracy of third-party information, or transactions conducted with third parties.
Users access external websites at their own risk.
Payments Repository may, where applicable, display advertising, sponsored research, industry partnerships, commercial announcements, sponsored content, or other commercial material. Where required, sponsored or paid content will be identified appropriately. The presence of commercial content does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the relevant organisation, product or service.
Payments Repository may use technology, including artificial intelligence, automation or other analytical tools, in certain aspects of research, categorisation, search, summarisation, data processing or content development. Where such technology is used, appropriate human review and research processes may be applied depending on the nature of the content.
However, users should independently verify material information before relying upon it for important decisions. AI-assisted or automated analysis may contain errors, omissions or inaccuracies.
You must not attempt to circumvent security controls; access restricted systems; probe or scan infrastructure without authorisation; introduce malicious code; conduct denial-of-service activity; interfere with website operations; reverse engineer restricted systems; or attempt to obtain information through unauthorised means.
We may take appropriate technical, legal or other measures against suspected misuse.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Payments Repository makes no express or implied warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, suitability for a particular purpose, non-infringement, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or harmful components.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Payments Repository and its owners, directors, employees, contractors, contributors, affiliates and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive loss arising from or relating to use of the Services, reliance on Repository content, errors or omissions in research, changes to market information, loss of data, business interruption, loss of revenue, investment or commercial decisions, third-party websites, or inability to access the Services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Payments Repository, its owners, directors, employees, contractors and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages and reasonable expenses arising from your misuse of the Services; your violation of these Terms; your violation of applicable law; your infringement of another person's rights; or content submitted by you.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services where we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms; you have engaged in unlawful activity; your use creates a security risk; your activity threatens the integrity of the Repository; or suspension is necessary to comply with law.
We may also discontinue or materially modify the Services at any time. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnification and other provisions intended to survive termination will continue to apply.
Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected and processed. The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms by reference.
We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in the Services, new functionality, changes in law, changes in business practices, security requirements, or other operational requirements.
The updated version will be posted on the website with a revised "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of [Jurisdiction — to be confirmed], unless applicable mandatory law provides otherwise. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of [Jurisdiction / City / Country — to be confirmed], unless otherwise required by applicable law.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be interpreted to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated into these Terms, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Services. They supersede prior statements or understandings regarding the same subject matter, except where otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
