Card Payments 101
“What’s missing is your voiceover narration of the slides.”
This was one comment we received when we published our Payments 101.
And it clearly stayed with us.
The content was widely loved by the community, and even by payments industry influencers like Arthur Bedel, Marcel Van Oost, and Monica Jasuja, because it simplified payments. No jargon. Just a back-to-basics explainer on how card payments actually work.
So we decided, why not do it live?
What will you learn in 60 minutes ?
Introduction to Payments and Payment Methods
Types of Cards and Card Payment Networks
Key Players in Credit Card Transactions and how they interact
Card Transaction Flow from Relationships, Authentication, Authorization, Clearing to Settlement and Reconciliation
Transaction Costs at each stage and Factors impacting Cost of Payments
Factors impacting Approval Rates and why transactions fail
Chargebacks and what they mean for businesses
These are the fundamentals most people skip but everyone is expected to know. Once you understand this, everything in payments starts making sense.
Who is this for?
If you’re new to the payments industry and don’t know where to start, this is exactly what you need. It will give you the full picture of how everything fits together and where each piece sits.
If you’ve already spent time in payments and want to brush up your basics, this will help you strengthen your fundamentals and fill the gaps you didn’t realise were there.
And since it’s live, you can ask your questions too. We’ll have a Q&A at the end.
