NatWest and Endava Form Partnership to Drive Merchant Payments Business Forward

Key Terms

ai-native technical

A company or product described as ai-native is built from the ground up around artificial intelligence rather than having AI added on later; its core processes, user experience and decision-making rely on machine learning models and data pipelines. Like a house designed for wheelchair access versus one retrofitted, ai-native firms can move faster, scale more cheaply and offer unique products or cost advantages—information investors use to judge future growth potential and risk exposure to model, data or regulatory failures.

payments gateway technical

A payments gateway is the digital 'cashier' that securely moves a customer’s card or digital payment information from an online checkout to the banks that approve the funds and back to the seller. Investors care because the gateway influences how reliably and cheaply a company collects revenue, the risk of fraud or data breaches, and customer checkout success rates; those factors directly affect sales, costs, and regulatory exposure.

foreign exchange financial

Foreign exchange is the process of swapping one country's money for another’s, like exchanging dollars for euros when traveling. It matters because it determines how much your money is worth in another country, affecting prices, investments, and international trade. This system helps businesses and governments buy and sell across borders smoothly.

orchestration technical

Orchestration is the coordinated management of multiple tasks, systems or teams so they work together smoothly, like a conductor ensuring each instrument plays at the right time. For investors, orchestration matters because it improves efficiency, speeds up delivery, reduces errors and operational costs, and makes scaling or changing business processes less risky—factors that can directly affect a company’s profitability and reliability.
