## Source summary

Payments Dive reports BCG's forecast that North American payment-transaction revenue rises from US$339 billion in 2025 to US$436 billion in 2030, with annual growth slowing from 7% in 2019–2025 to about 5% in 2025–2030. These are projections of transaction revenue, not payment volume. An inconsistent year in the article's separate total-revenue paragraph is not reproduced.

## Why it matters

The forecast distinguishes transaction fees from broader payment-related income and suggests slower growth in mature markets; it is not an observed 2030 result.
