New to payments or looking to strengthen your skills? Set yourself up for success by building a strong foundation of payments industry knowledge.

You’ll begin by exploring the payments landscape, where you’ll learn about the history and value of payments and how they work. You’ll discuss emerging payments models and see how issuers and acquirers can leverage new opportunities.

You’ll then receive an overview of operations as you dive into network processing, transaction use cases, billing and settlement and how to navigate Visa’s core rules. Next, you’ll discover why fraud matters, types of fraud and strategies issuers and acquirers can use to mitigate risk.

The course will conclude with a discussion on portfolio management, where you’ll learn more about getting into (and to the top of) customers’ digital wallets and how to measure your performance.

Upon completion of the course, you’ll return to your role with the knowledge and skills you need to help build and evolve strategy in your organization and drive business growth.
