The Topcoder team is always looking to improve your community experience. The Topcoder payment process/platform is old and outdated and we are looking to leverage modern payment platforms and create a more enjoyable experience.
This challenge is NOT a replacement or copy of PACTS. This challenge is a complete reimagining of how you (a Topcoder member and competitor) would like to manage your Topcoder winnings and payments.
