The AFT Podcast
The AFT podcast (At the Forefront of Transactions) - previously known as Fundraising Radio, is a continuation of our efforts to bring in-depth knowledge of the payments space.
Do you know how credit cards work? How banks communicate transactions between each other? How the tap to pay works? How funds get disbursed by government agencies?
You'll learn about topics in the payment space that you didn't even know existed. If you are in the fintech/payments space or just a curious mind - hop on!
