May 25, 2022Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

Payments orchestration promises a possibility-filled future for merchants. They want one connection to maintain to achieve global reach with configurable routing tools and logic.

The Benefits of Running Pay-Ins and Pay-Outs Through the Same Service

July 3, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

“I came across this portion of code and everyone avoids it, it’s called payments.” -Joel Taylor, Where’s My Money?

3D Secure & Consumer Authentication

July 3, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

Now, risk reduction thinks two steps ahead. Guest Post by our partners at Paladin Fraud Group It’s a push-and-pull as old as time (well, as old as eCommerce, anyway): merchants need more assurance that a customer is who they say they are—and the customer desires a frictionless transaction process without too many verification speedbumps. Despite…

Black Lives Matter

June 10, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

“Every system of control depends for its survival on the tangible and intangible benefits that are provided to those who are responsible for the system’s maintenance and administration.

Dynamic Payment Method Presentation

June 10, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

With payment providers offering 300+ payment methods for acceptance, it can be difficult to determine when and where to display which payment method.

June 9, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

By our partners at Paladin Group, now a member of MVB Financial Corp. While the average person on the street couldn’t define “behavioral biometrics” off the top of their head, these technologies are quietly helping to save them from ending up a statistic. With billions of login credentials hacked every year, plenty of people are…

BINs and You: A Guide for Merchants

March 12, 2020Daniel PelegeroNo CommentsBank Identification Number, BIN, BIN file, BIN lookup, BIN table, Interbank Card Association, payments analytics, payments routing

What, Why, and How According to FIS, “traditionally, payment analytics awareness has been low and the more savvy merchants have relied on simple reports organized around Bank Identification Numbers (BIN files).” As payment environments complexify, these legacy payment analytics are insufficient to support growth.  For the purposes of simplicity, we will be referring to Bank…

Thinking about EMVCo Specifications

December 12, 2019Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

By Isabella Pelegero What qualifies an organization to set standards for the payments environment? And by whom are these organizations kept accountable? According to the U.S. government,  “how standards are set is a matter of some concern because the economic and social stakes in standards are so large. The standards development process must be fair…

August 22, 2019Daniel PelegeroNo Comments

RPGC is releasing a white paper which presents the business case for a new “Payments Orchestration Layer” or POL.
