By 2026, payments leaders are already bracing for demand to surge, with PwC projecting 60% of payments revenue to come from embedded finance by 2028 and Deloitte forecasting 40% growth in AI skilled payments roles by 2026. Meanwhile, tokenization, CBDCs, and real time rails are flipping the skills profile so dramatically that WEF estimates 50% of payments jobs will be transformed by 2025. The result is a workforce challenge that looks less like “training more” and more like rebuilding capabilities fast enough to keep up.
