Introducing our new Payments Intelligence Analyst

When American Banker launched Payments Intelligence last fall, we were excited to bring payments executives and bankers the research, data, analysis and news they need to succeed, all in one place. 

Now I'd like to introduce readers to Megan Ryan, our new Market Intelligence analyst for payments, who joined us this week after five years as a payments policy analyst at the Federal Reserve. She will be writing regular commentary and analytical pieces, including short takes on key developments  and longer breakdowns of important trends, all exclusive to American Banker subscribers. Megan will be meeting the community at our On-Chain Executive Summit in New York City next week, March 19-20, where she'll be onstage presenting exclusive research. You'll also hear her as a guest on the AB Podcast and moderating panel discussions at other in-person events we host, including Payments Forum, and virtual summits. 

During her time at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Megan focused on how tech is changing money movement and payments. Her time at the Fed included a year at the Digital Innovations Studies group at the Board of Governors. She's studied payments topics including stablecoins, cryptocurrencies, quantum computing as applied to payments, offline digital payments, and digital identity, as well as how policymakers can broaden financial inclusion. Having seen the regulatory-innovation world from the inside, she'll be bringing her views to American Banker subscribers.

We're committed to producing exclusive Payments Intelligence insights so that readers can get ahead of what's happening in the industry. Together with our own research and the reporting of our journalists, we know that American Banker is the one place where payments leaders come for insights to inform their strategies and decisions.
