Ep30: Mark Beresford and Mark McMurtrie, Deep Dive into Payment Orchestration, Merchant Perspective, Build of Buy, Provider Landscape and What the Future Holds Leaders In Payments and FinTech - The EDC Podcast with Martin Koderisch

This week to mark the 30th episode of the EDC podcast, I’m joined by 2 special guests: Mark Beresford (Director and head of the EDC retailer practice) and Mark McMurtrie (EDC Associate Consultant).

We also decided to go all out and record our first episode face to face in a London studio with video as well as audio. So look out for the video version which will follow this audio only podcast. We will place a link to the video on this page once ready.

In this episode we are returning to the topic of payment orchestration which remains a super important trend in the payments industry, with a lot of activity to stay abreast of.
