Panel

Wednesday, April 22
3:00 – 3:45 PM

Novel Ingredients: The Mad Tea Party of Healthcare Products

Merchants and marketplaces are increasingly selling research chemicals, wellness aids, and performance enhancers that contain novel or higher-risk ingredients. For acquirers, PayFacs, and ISOs, facilitating these sales creates significant exposure. This panel provides strategic insights and practical guidance to help underwriting and compliance teams identify emerging threats, while aligning risk decisions with card network rules and enforcement realities.

Regulatory Rigamarole: Supporting Good Policy and Onboarding Decisions When Rules are Opaque

In the next 18 months, regulators will continue to grapple with industries like gambling, cannabis, and telemedicine—all of which remain high-risk, high-growth, and highly confusing for payments. At the same time, a wave of federal leadership turnover and fragmented state policies are creating even more uncertainty. For payment providers, sponsor banks, and ISOs, this creates a tough reality: you can’t just wait for clarity. You need to keep merchants moving through onboarding pipelines, protect against reputational and regulatory blowback, and still stay competitive. This panel brings together perspectives from risk intelligence, banking, and global payments operations to unpack how to make smarter policy and onboarding decisions when regulatory signals are anything but clear.
