Sub-sector

PAD/ACH & Bank Rails

This represents incumbent consolidation around cross-border rails, but is primarily a partnership between mega-banks and SWIFT itself—not a funding event, acquisition, or regulatory shift that directly impacts sub-$250M fintech founders. Useful context on where the market is moving but not immediately actionable.
