2021 has been an exciting (and busy) year for GoCardless and the world of payments. We launched our first open banking powered feature, Instant Bank Pay, and created a live demo that lets people try open banking whilst donating directly to The Trussell Trust. Our CEO, Hiroki Takeuchi, spoke at Web Summit and shared his thoughts on open banking's progress with a global audience. We've also explained what Amazon's stand against Visa's fees means for business and the alternative payments methods that SMEs can utilise.
As the year draws to a close, we wanted to help you keep up to date with all that's happened in 2021 by sharing a round-up of the top 10 most popular articles, webinars and reports, as well as some of the most commonly asked questions that we've received.
