Welcome to the Payments Innovation Alliance
News! Alliance Advances Quantum-Safe Payments Education for World Quantum Day
In support of World Quantum Day, Nacha’s Payments Innovation Alliance is expanding its leadership on quantum-safe payments with the launch of a new educational blog series from industry experts designed to help the payments ecosystem move from awareness to action. The blog series builds on the Alliance’s foundational paper, “Protecting Payments in the Quantum Era: Setting a Course for Action,” which outlines how quantum computing could impact today’s cryptographic protections and what payments stakeholders should begin doing now to prepare. Together, the paper and blogs provide a practical road map—translating emerging theory into clear, industry-relevant guidance for organizations at every stage of readiness.
