The S&P Kensho Future Payments Index is designed to measure the performance of companies involved in providing products or services related to general-purpose platforms that allow consumers to transact using a digital balance.

A subsector index within the S&P Kensho New Economy Index Series, the S&P Kensho Future Payments Index intends to represent companies that are focused on building the next generation of payment capabilities, such as digital wallets; platforms that allow merchants to manage multi-channel payments in one system, real-time payments, and transfers across consumer and merchant accounts; transaction security (e.g., tokenization, end-to-end encryption); and biometrically enabled payments.
