Since 2009, wiSource has operated as a pioneering think tank and one of North America’s leading collaborative platforms in payments and enterprise innovation.
We unite current and former senior executives and technology leaders from American Express, MasterCard, Visa, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, and other top-tier financial institutions to co-develop specialized technologies that transform how businesses operate in the digital economy.
Built on an exclusive, invitation-only executive network, wiSource serves as a bridge between emerging innovation and enterprise applications. Our framework enables organizations to gain early access to groundbreaking technologies across two core domains, payment systems and artificial intelligence agents, positioning these solutions early in their lifecycle for large-scale adoption.
The wiSource Core
At the core of wiSource’s innovation ecosystem are wiSource Labs and wiSource Ventures, two complementary divisions that operate as dynamic incubators for research, development, and commercialization. Within these environments, leading technologists collaborate directly with senior executives and industry veterans to conceptualize, prototype, and refine next-generation payment technologies. This collaborative model has yielded sophisticated platforms and intelligent software solutions now adopted across both public and private enterprises, including several within the private-equity sector.
Through the wiSource Ventures, we identify, invest in, and co-develop transformative technologies in partnership with venture-backed fintech innovators and global financial institutions. Building on the foundation established by The Payments Lab, launched in 2012, wiSource Ventures continues to advance cutting-edge payment, blockchain, and AI infrastructures. Together, these initiatives embody our mission to accelerate innovation, strengthen financial ecosystems, and strategically position emerging technologies for early, scalable industry adoption.
