Frequently asked questions
What areas of payments and banking does GLG cover?
Our coverage spans the full payments and banking landscape, including: payments and fintech; retail, commercial, and transaction banking; cards and issuing; merchant acquiring and processing; payment service providers (PSPs) and payment facilitators; orchestration and gateways; wallets and alternative payment methods (APM); buy now, pay later (BNPL); open banking; real-time and account-to-account payments; core banking modernization and ISO 20022 migration; stablecoins and digital assets; and fraud, identity, know your customer (KYC), and anti-money laundering (AML). We also recruit specific profiles to find the right match for each objective.
What audiences can GLG reach across payments and banking?
Every layer of the value chain and the demand side it sells to: card networks; banks and credit unions from Tier 1 to community; issuers and issuer-processors; acquirers and merchant processors; PSPs, payment facilitators, and orchestrators; wallet, BNPL, and infrastructure providers; fraud and identity vendors; and SMB through enterprise merchants. Inside those companies we reach strategy and corporate development, product and platform, data and AI, partnerships, risk and fraud, treasury, and e-commerce and checkout teams. These are examples – our team works with you to define the exact profile your project requires.
How quickly can a project start?
We'll get started once we receive your request to meet your timeline. We can help clients vet, schedule, and conduct calls within 24 hours.
How much of the research does GLG do with us?
As little or as much as the moment requires. Our model is surgical: you decide where GLG's involvement starts and stops. Run your own Expert Calls independently, have GLG run them on your behalf, or combine both. Self-serve where you have capacity, full-service where you do not.
We can also support just the piece of the workflow you are missing. From discussion guide or questionnaire development to the final deliverable, whether you want raw call notes, structured PowerPoint slides, interactive reports, or full whitepapers.
How does GLG verify experts and support compliance?
Confidence in your sources is paramount. Our multi-layered screening process checks relevant experience for project fit, identity and third-party data sources, and proprietary behavioral data. Our software is purpose-built to enable your firm's specific compliance protocols across calls, surveys, and expert content.
What use cases does GLG support beyond core coverage
Beyond broad coverage, we support pointed use cases: market sizing for artificial intelligence in banking, market intelligence services across the banking industry, and market sizing for SME payments and fintech competition facing banks. Bring us the specific question and we'll build the expert base around it.
What can GLG support beyond 1:1 expert interviews?
Beyond expert interviews, we support pointed research use cases across the deal or product lifecycle: sizing the opportunity for embedded lending in SME banking, uncovering gaps in working capital for mid-market corporates, testing a new card proposition for SMEs before launch, optimizing product bundles for treasury management teams, and sharpening how your team pitches a new BNPL offering against competitors. Bring us the question and we'll build the expert base around it.
Beyond individual projects, our Expert Content Library keeps you current between engagements, and our MCP integration allows you to embed GLG content and transcripts directly into the tools your team already works in.
