MERCHANT PAYMENTS RUNWAY
A structured, expert‑led program for banks and financial institutions to bring clarity to in‑person payments.
From merchant payments complexity to a clear roadmap
-
Merchant payments have never been more complex. Multiple touchpoints. Multiple partners. Legacy decisions layered on top of new expectations.
The Merchant Payments Runway Program is a practical, expert‑led program designed for banks and financial institutions offering merchant services. Across three focused sessions, we help you turn that complexity into a clear, executable roadmap, covering every in‑person payment touchpoint.
You’ll leave with a precise plan for how to evolve your merchant payments offering, without taking on unnecessary risk or operational burden.
Who the program is for
-
Built for banks and financial institutions offering merchant services
This program is designed for banks and financial institutions that want to:
Offer merchants more flexibility and choice at the point of sale
Reduce dependency on single acquirers or rigid hardware ecosystems
Modernize in‑person payments without directly managing hardware
Create a scalable foundation for future merchant payment services
-
For banks offering merchant services, the Merchant Payments Runway Program delivers the flexibility to choose hardware‑agnostic solutions, connect with multiple acquirers, and empower merchants, without the burden of direct hardware management, so you can deliver freedom and choice at every point of sale.
How the program works
-
Three sessions. One clear roadmap.
No two payment strategies are the same. The Merchant Payments Runway Program adapts to your priorities, helping you make informed decisions about how your merchant payments should evolve by:
Define the problem
Make complexity visible across your current payment estate.
Design the future state
Explore what “good” looks like for your merchant payments model - technically, commercially, and operationally.
Build the roadmap
Leave with a phased, practical plan that shows what to do first, next, and later.
