The Cards Masterclass — Build expertise in payment cards

Build and run card products with confidence — from card plumbing and routing to profitable pricing and adoption.

Who it’s for

• Professionals leading card issuing, card program management, or card acquiring/acceptance
• Teams launching USD cards, companion cards, virtual cards, prepaid, or contactless
• Anyone who needs to stop “guessing” and start running cards with control

Let's take a look at how we have built the curriculum.

Outcomes - This is who you'll be if you stick with the curriculum after 3 weeks

• Design a card product as an archetype (provider-agnostic) and choose the right setup
• Map card transactions end-to-end and pinpoint why failures happen
• Design the issuing tech stack: CMS, processing flows, routing logic, and required integrations
• Define the logs/dashboards needed to debug declines and stability issues fast
• Build a complete pricing waterfall: setup costs + per-transaction fees + failure costs + provider fees
• Create a practical adoption plan that scales issuance and drives repeat usage without margin leakage

Benefits - what will change when you get back to work.

• Clear partner conversations: what to ask banks, processors, and providers (without sounding lost)
• Fewer launch mistakes and faster troubleshooting when things break
• Better pricing decisions backed by a true cost stack and failure-rate sensitivity
• Stronger adoption driven by reliability-first distribution and usage design

Features

• 3 weeks • 3 hours live weekly • recordings
• Weekly guided labs with take-back-to-work templates
• Built for African fintech realities (issuer + acquirer perspectives)
