Our Payments Education Programme has been developed to support all stakeholders in the payments ecosystem and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to engage with well researched, independent, easy to access educational material.
We’re excited to launch the Vendorcom Payments Education Programme, with an exclusive series of 5 educational webinars, powered by CMSPI.
Our educational webinar series is ideal for:
- New entrants to the payments industry, looking to get up to speed quickly
- Those looking for a refresher on how the payments industry works – whether you’ve been away from the industry, or are simply looking for a reminder on key principles
- Professionals working in a niche area of payments, or those outside of payments who often interact with the industry, who would benefit from insight into payments
- Regulators, standards bodies or legislators looking for additional context
Providing a broad overview of the payments industry, our webinar series covers 5 key topics:
1. Behind the Scenes: Card Transactions
Credit and debit cards are the most prominent payment method for the vast majority of merchants – but do you truly understand the complex processes and fee structures behind card transactions?
2. Behind the Scenes: Cash Payments
For many countries across Europe, cash payments have been declining for years. However, it remains a crucial and costly part of the modern payments mix – and it’s important to understand just how it’s processed behind the scenes.
3. Regulation: The Challenges, the Opportunities, and the Benefits
In the payments industry, regulation is key – and it influences everything wihtin the system, including fees, innovation, competition and customer experience. A fundamental understanding of the regulations impacting your business is crucial to understanding the payments industry as a whole, and defining a future-proof payments strategy.
4. Digital Payments: What They Mean for Merchants
Digital channels are teh future of commerce, and payments are no exception. Across Europe, we are consistently seeing new paymen methods emerge – each with their own set of complexities, benefits and costs. But which ones are going to emerge as the future of payments?
5. The Changing Payments Landscape
The payments landscape has been changing rapidly for several years. Consumer habits are evolving, new payment methods are emerging, and supplier offering and relationships are developing. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic causing store closures, reduced contact and increased online spending, many of these changes have been accelerated to an unprecedented rate.
