An intermediary is a person, organization, or thing that acts as a neutral go-between in transactions, communications, or processes, helping to connect parties who might not interact directly. In modern contexts, such as finance or tech, intermediaries streamline operations by adding layers of security and efficiency, but they can also introduce complexities like fees or regulatory hurdles. This role has become even more vital in our interconnected world, where digital intermediaries facilitate everything from online shopping to international diplomacy.
