May 08, 2024 19:27 - 37 minutes - 51.8 MBThe process of accepting payments is a labyrinth of complexity, and payment service providers are the guiding lights that help merchants navigate this maze.

April 24, 2024 21:08 - 53 minutes - 73.2 MBIn Episode 231, Samantha Gordon and Simon Skinner discussed the orchestration framework they developed to help our clients decipher a somewhat overused term in the industry.

While preparing for this podcast, John observed that “every merchant has an orchestration platform; they just don’t call...

Episode 233 - How unexpected technology combinations can lead to practical payment solutions with Glendy Kam, Tassat
February 29, 2024 00:03 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBAs humans, our brains like to organize things - classify them, put them in silos. This thinking often works to our advantage - enabling deep analysis and understanding. Sometimes, though, it can work against us. We can be bound to a siloed thought process - a “this or that” false choice that causes us to miss the greater value inherent in doing both. In searching for guests who will inspire us to eschew false choices in favor of unexpected combinations, we met Glendy Kam, Chief Product Off...

February 01, 2024 01:30 - 35 minutes - 48.4 MBIn this episode, we are exploring one of the “buzziest” buzz words in payments today - orchestration. If you have been in the payments space for a long time, your reaction to hearing about orchestration might be “What’s all the fuss about? We’ve been evolving these capabilities for decades.” If you are new to the industry, you may think this is some kind of high-performance jet fuel that is painfully needed to improve a rather opaque transaction processing environment. Joining Yvette Boh...

January 17, 2024 22:14 - 54 minutes - 74.8 MBLaunching a payment product requires big moonshot thinking alongside a lot of agonizing over the details.

There’s an entire population of a country to consider - what does each segment of the population require to be abl...

Episode 227 - EMVCo: A Textbook Example of Collaboration with Oliver Manahan, EMVCo
November 29, 2023 21:11 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBWhat if every time you went to pay for something at a store, the clerk behind the counter had a different terminal for each card network - one for Visa, another for American Express, and a few others for local domestic networks? That was what much of the world was like decades ago - and it still is a bit like that in some countries today. But in 1999, collaboration entered the picture when Europay, Visa, and Mastercard came together to create a common specification for Chip and PIN so that a...

What were we thinking in 2015 when debit routing at POS, contactless payments, and chip and PIN were “of the moment”? What lessons can we glean from a conversation then that apply now? We’ve pulled Episode ...

October 18, 2023 22:42 - 52 minutes - 121 MBCreating a great purchase experience may start with a frictionless checkout process, but it doesn’t end there. In fact, it takes a lot of effort to create a well-functioning payment platform and a cross-functional operations environment to keep a business running smoothly and customers happy. Like most things in life, it’s easier to talk about doing this than to do it. So it helps to learn from someone else’s experience about what has worked or hasn’t worked for them. In this episode, we g...
