#19 The Anatomy of the Swipe

In our 19th episode, Arun and I sat down with Ahmed Siddiqui, VP of product at Branch and author of the book The Anatomy of the Swipe. We dove into Ahmed's entry into the payments industry, why he wrote a book, his company, Branch, and payment concepts. If you're looking for a crash course in payments, particularly what happens when you swipe, tap, or insert your credit card, look no further. We also look at who the major players are, who takes on what risk profile as money changes hands, and how the industry is evolving. It's fascinating. Music: Hipjazz and Dreams from Bensound.com
