Fintech covers the entire payments space too

Guess I'm thinking more of HFT. Normal payment processing isn't this affected by a leap second though as far as I know.

Maybe they could be affected and needed plans to avoid the impact as well, but unlike stock markets you can’t say pause payments globally for half an hour just to get through the leap second.
