Payment Methods List is an independent intelligence platform for teams making payment acceptance decisions. Run by Ale Aznar, it provides a human-curated, provider-validated reference covering more than 310 alternative and local payment methods across 180+ countries. The database helps merchants, payment service providers, orchestrators and consultants understand which methods are available and relevant in each market, without relying on outdated spreadsheets or provider-biased information.

The platform documents how payment methods work at checkout and where they fit within a merchant’s payment stack. Its research covers categories such as digital wallets, bank transfers, buy now, pay later, vouchers and cash. Founding partners can access operational detail and help shape future coverage, including information on settlement timing, provider coverage, pricing, approval rates, limits, disputes and local licensing. Public profiles are free to read and cite.

Payment Methods List also offers a free guide to alternative payment methods and research on global payment trends.
