The Business of Payments
The Canadian payment landscape is rapidly changing. The Business of Payments program, offered in partnership with the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, provides an overview of this changing payment landscape and the trends that are shaping its future.
This collaboration is a response to the need for this type of programming in Canada and has been developed and contextualized to address areas of strategic interest specific to stakeholders within and peripheral to the payment industry. The course covers strategic payment topics, with the goal of equipping senior professionals with the insights needed to adapt to the shifting payment landscape and harness the new opportunities it provides. There hasn’t been a better time to turn your payment knowledge into an industry advantage.
The Rotman School of Management program highlights payment talent acquisition and the payment technology landscape. With a distinct focus on strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and growing payment talent, participants will gain insight into facilitating strong relationships within the payment ecosystem.
