IXOPAY Surges Past 500 Certified Adapters, Solidifies Leadership in Enterprise-Grade Payment Orchestration
With 200 PSPs and 300 payment methods, IXOPAY is unlocking faster global expansion, improved approval rates, and full-stack control for enterprise merchants. LEHI, UT / / July 15, 2025 / As global commerce accelerates, enterprise merchants are hitting a wall - their legacy payment stacks weren't built for the scale, complexity, or speed modern commerce demands. To stay competitive, merchants need infrastructure that adapts across markets, providers, and payment methods without costly rewrites or vendor lock-in. IXOPAY, a global leader in enterprise-grade payment orchestration, is addressing that challenge head-on with the announcement it has reached 500 certified adapters, connecting 200 payment service providers (PSPs) and 300 payment methods through a single, vendor-agnostic API. Payment orchestration is rapidly emerging as vital infrastructure for modern payments, and its effectiveness depends on the scale and breadth of the adapter ecosystem. IXOPAY's industry-leading global adapter network eliminates processor lock-in, accelerates integrations, and enables seamless expansion into international markets. As businesses modernize their payment stacks, IXOPAY turns infrastructure into a strategic advantage. "You can't scale globally without reliable, enterprise-ready connections," said Brady Harris, CEO of IXOPAY. "Our 500 certified adapters form the foundation for real orchestration, enabling merchants to enter new markets faster, adapt to change, and take full control of their payment strategy. This is what modern payment infrastructure looks like." IXOPAY's modular, vendor-neutral platform serves as the strategic control layer for enterprise-grade payments. Merchants can route transactions across providers, geographies, and methods through a single unified orchestration layer - supported by advanced lifecycle tools like smart routing, tokenization, 3DS, reconciliation, and real-time failover. With hundreds of certified adapters and pre-integrated services, IXOPAY enables low- and no-code connections to PSPs, APMs, and third-party tools such as fraud prevention, identity verification, and dunning. This unified approach accelerates deployment, improves approval rates, simplifies compliance, and gives merchants the flexibility to scale globally with ease. "We require flexibility, scalability, and speed - and IXOPAY provides a solid foundation for all three," said Clemens Leitner, CEO of DIMOCO. "Our needs have evolved over time and the platform has adapted, which enables us to scale and integrate a wide range of payment methods." IXOPAY has orchestrated more than $40 billion in payments, helping customers across 30+ countries expand faster and operate with greater control through its certified adapter network. As global commerce shifts toward adaptive, API-first infrastructure, IXOPAY is expanding its ecosystem and capabilities to meet growing merchant demand. "Payments are becoming more global, more complex and more strategic," said Jordan McKee, Research Director, Fintech, 451 Research S&P Global Market Intelligence. "As merchants increasingly pursue multi-processor strategies to gain flexibility and improve performance, payment orchestration has quickly become one of the most prolific and important merchant acceptance trends of the past half decade."* Resilience, flexibility, and speed are no longer tradeoffs - they're requirements.

‘We're stuck with this house': Utah family says their $860K new build cracked, flooded and forced them out
When Neal and Jessica Schmidt relocated from Chicago to Lehi, Utah, they were looking for more space for their growing family. They already had two young children and had just found out they were expecting a third. Drawn in by the stunning mountain views and the promise of a new life, they purchased a brand-new home for $860,000 from Toll Brothers, a developer that calls itself 'America's luxury home builder.' But that dream home quickly turned into a nightmare, they told FOX 13. Within 30 days of moving in, the Schmidts say they noticed cracks in the drywall. By the second month, doors were no longer opening or closing properly as the house continued to settle. Then, while they were away, a pipe above the stove burst, flooding the house and forcing the family into a rental. What they thought would be a three-month displacement turned into an 18-month ordeal. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Despite the home being under warranty, the Schmidts say the timeline for repairs dragged on without any guaranteed deadlines. During the entire time Toll Brothers was working on the home, the family lived in a series of short-term rentals. 'We're building tunnels under oceans,' Jessica Schmidt told FOX 13. 'How hard is it to make sure this house doesn't slide down a river?' Neal Schmidt began documenting the delays on social media, even tagging Toll Brothers. Other homeowners in the neighborhood also reported issues, but only one neighbor's home was bought back by the builder. When the Schmidts asked for the same, they say the company flatly refused. In the end, the couple reached a private settlement with Toll Brothers and removed the social media posts. But the emotional and financial damage remained. 'We're stuck with this house that we know is never going to be worth what it could be,' Jessica said. The Schmidts' story is far from unique in Utah. In a 2023 case that drew national attention, homes in a Draper, Utah neighborhood slid down a mountainside after being built on unstable ground. FOX 13 has investigated and found a common thread: Utah's laws offer little protection for homebuyers facing construction defects. 'There's a fair chance that when you buy a home in Utah,' said John Morris, an attorney who has represented Utah homeowners, 'and there are problems with that home, you really will have no avenue for recovery. Zero.' Read more: No millions? No problem. With as little as $10, here's of diversified assets usually only available to major players Utah's rapid growth has fueled a boom in new home construction, but legal protections haven't kept pace. Unlike some states, which have licensing boards to investigate poor workmanship, Utah has no agency tasked with enforcing quality standards in new builds. The Division of Professional Licensing only penalizes builders for issues like working without permits, not for construction flaws that emerge after closing. Most builders offer warranties, but those warranties often favor the builder. They may not guarantee repair timelines and can exclude major problems. They also tend to limit what a homeowner can do legally, sometimes requiring arbitration instead of lawsuits, which can restrict your options for getting meaningful compensation. And while homeowners technically have six years to sue over safety-related defects, those cases are costly, time-consuming and rarely pay off. Utah doesn't allow most homeowners to recover attorney's fees in these lawsuits. So what can Utah buyers do? Research the builder: Read reviews and look into past complaints or lawsuits. Get a serious inspection: Don't rely on a basic $150 inspection or city approval. Hire someone who can assess your home's structural integrity and moisture protection. Read the contract closely: Know what's covered in the warranty, how long it lasts, and whether it includes binding arbitration clauses that limit your legal rights. File warranty claims early and in writing: Don't wait — most builders won't act unless you document the issue and make a formal claim. Document everything: Photos, videos, repair requests, and email chains can all support your case if issues escalate. Use public pressure: If you get nowhere with the builder, consider online reviews or reaching out to local reporters. One homeowner said that's what finally got the company's attention. Understand your HOA rules: If your neighborhood has one, you may be financially responsible for repairs to shared infrastructure, even if it was the developer's fault. Until Utah lawmakers pass stronger protections for buyers, the burden of making sure a home is safe and sound falls largely on the homeowner. And that means doing your homework long before the keys are in your hand. This tiny hot Costco item has skyrocketed 74% in price in under 2 years — but now the retail giant is restricting purchases.

Palestine Israel: Implementing A One-State Solution
It's time that the nations of the world (or at least the influential western nations) accept the reality that all the lands that constituted 1920-1948 Mandatory Palestine should be formally recognised as a single nation-state; ideally called Palestine Israel or Israel-Palestine, but more realistically called Israel. In other words, the never-viable notion of a two-nation-state division of 'Israel' ( should be dropped as a viable solution in favour of the promotion of a liberal bicultural (or multicultural) nation-state. The role model for change could be South Africa. Jewish and Non-Jewish intellectuals (such as Hans Kohn, Shlomo Sand and Yanis Varoufakis) – on the political left – have been arguing for this 'one-state-solution' for over 100 years. It's just that their voices have always been deamplified by those on the political centre and the political right. (On the centre, we think of people like Joe Biden, Keir Starmer, and their predecessors. On the right, we may consider former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, a leader in the 1940s of the openly fascist Lehi, yet a moderate by today's Israeli political standards.) Shlomo Sand outlines the history of the arguments for a single 'binational' state in his 2024 book Israel-Palestine: Federation or Apartheid? His vision, which is not quite what I favour, emphasises binationalism ( and looks towards these successful liberal examples of bi- or multi- nationalism: Canada, Belgium, Switzerland. The better framing of this approach, I believe, is biculturalism; though even that is not problem-free, because it is an exclusive concept. What I think would work best for Palestine Israel is also the same as what would work best for Aotearoa New Zealand: multiculturalism with a bicultural (treaty) emphasis. (Ireland could have become something similar, as in Irish rugby; but it went down a failed two-state path, and experienced two substantial civil wars last century.) The ideal is for Palestine Israel to become a liberal democracy in which all people born within its borders become citizens with equal citizenship rights; a nation state which commits to both the domestic and international norms of liberal democracy. (In a bicultural nation-state, the principal divider is religion; normally people's religious loyalties are discrete, meaning that being, say, a Muslim or Jew or Christian is mutually exclusive. The word 'national' is increasingly used in the 21st century as it was in the 19th century; to refer to a 'people' or a 'race' rather than to relate to a territory defined by its borders and its sovereign institutions. Ethnicity – the better word is 'ancestry – is not a discrete concept such as 'religion'; individual people have multiple ancestries, and should not be required to identify as one over another.) How can this be achieved? First, we should note that the status quo in Eretz Israel is at least as unacceptable as Apartheid South Africa was to our world of mostly 'internationally-civilised' nation-states. (An internationally civilised state is one that accepts agreed norms in the ways that it relates to other nation states, meaning that it does not indulge in offensive hard-power geopolitics – such as 'gunboat diplomacy'; and it practises cultural equality. Terrorism is understood as criminality. Such a state does not have to be a 'democracy' in the Westminster or American sense; but it should meet open liberal standards in the ways it treats its resident denizens – non-citizens – and it should subscribe to international treaties on matters such as climate sustainability and nuclear energy and election authenticity.) Second, this desired outcome will not come about by force. The community of liberal nations should simply recognise Eretz Israel as a nation state, based ideally on the prior borders of Mandatory Palestine. While there should be no demands, such a new nation-state would be risking discriminatory sanctions if it abuses liberal norms; in particular if it implements laws (including civil-marriage laws) that discriminate on the basis of sex, religion, or ancestry. Again, the obvious model is Apartheid South Africa, and the ways that South Africa was excluded from international sport so long as it implemented laws which discriminated on the basis of ethnicity. (Palestinians and many Israelis have Levantine ethnicity. Many Israelis have European, African or Asian co-ethnicity; that non-indigeneity should never be held against them. Nor should the indigeneity of the Palestinians.) In recognising Eretz Israel as Israel-Palestine (or even just under the name 'Israel'), a Levantine nation state, Israel's nuclear status should be addressed and normalised. (Likewise, India and Pakistan should be pressured to join the 'nuclear club'. One of the most problematic regional asymmetries at present is the advanced nuclear-status of Israel versus the embryonic nuclear status of Iran; Israel at present hides behind its non-membership of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to make it seem that Iran is a bigger nuclear threat to the world than Israel is.) Recognition of Eretz Israel as a sovereign nation state, under any name, should come with overt expectations of democracy, amnesty, truth, reconciliation, and press freedom. There should be no formal or informal mechanism of 'settling scores', no matter how reprehensible anyone's past or present behaviour has been. Truth trumps vengeance cloaked as 'accountability'. Lebanon was an initially successful, but now largely failed, version of a similar attempt at creating a tolerant multicultural nation state in the Levant. Lebanon's main problem was its belligerent southern neighbour. Israel-Palestine would not have Israel as a neighbour. Abandon the naïve two-state solution There is no way a Palestinian nation-state can be viable. At the very best it could become like a mini-Pakistan or mini-Bangladesh; and even that would take decades. (And the last Israeli prime minister to formalise a two-state future – Yitzhak Rabin – was assassinated in 1995, having achieved a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.) The two-state-solution agenda seems to be more about deescalating sufficiently for the Palestine issue to disappear from its media prominence; and not at all about ending a forever war which began in 1948. The present forever war – now in its hottest phase – followed a brutal war for Israeli-Jewish independence and non-Jewish expulsion waged by fascist and non-fascist 'non-state actors' from 1939 to 1948 against the British 'protectors'. That, in turn, followed a prior Palestinian insurrection against the British and the settlers from 1936-1939 (though overshadowed in the international media by the Spanish Civil War), which in its turn followed the 1929 Palestine riots. That's 96 years of escalating forever violence. In Summary Recognise a new expanded state, with or without a new name, but with certain (unenforceable, but well-publicised) expectations. This expectation should be a multi-cultural Levantine sovereign state, embracing adherents of the three Abrahamic faiths (as well as people of other religions, or no religion, as citizens; people born in Israel or Palestine, and documented immigrants): Levantine Jews, Levantine Muslims, Levantine Christians, plus others. All Israelis. And all Palestinians. Keith Rankin (keith at rankin dot nz), trained as an economic historian, is a retired lecturer in Economics and Statistics. He lives in Auckland, New Zealand.
