Sharing Economy

The platform economy is global in scope, spanning countries, borders, languages and currencies. Digital meeting places, you might call them – bringing buyers and sellers together across any number of verticals, from eCommerce tied to retail to gig economy matchups that get projects done. It’s big business – and about to get bigger, as the stats show, per our latest findings in the Payments and the Platform Economy. Underpinning it all? The glue boils down to one word: trust.
