As the breadth of transaction data expands, even the definition of payment data is getting stretched. Payment data, when combined with other sources, is becoming a valuable tool for both commerce and security. If we know your first name, we can figure out if you're male or female 92%+ of the time. If your email address is at AOL, you're probably over 50. What you might buy can be inferred from the websites you visit. And that's just the start of data's role in payments.

For a deeper dive into the topic, join Russ at the Payments Data Insight Workshop on October 13 in Palo Alto because data's influence in payments continues to expand.
