    Episode 296 - Fanning the Flames - Beyond Borders: Navigating Your Global Payments Strategy

    Going global with your payments strategy requires far more than choosing a single payment provider: companies must weigh local acquiring versus cross-border acquiring, country-by-country payment preferences, entity structure, tax implications, compliance requirements, authorization performance, currency handling, and provider coverage. In this episode, Chris Uriarte joins Glenbrook colleagues Samantha Gordon, Simon Skinner, and Drew Edmond to explore the complexities and potential benefits for merchants and platforms to consider when expanding payments globally.

    Episode 292 - Modern Authentication and the Impact on Payments Cost and Performance, with Amandeep Batra, Stripe and Dewald Nolte, Entersekt

    This episode is a follow-up to our 2024 discussion with Stripe and Entersekt on the use of 3-D Secure (3DS) in markets where strong customer authentication is not mandated, particularly the United States. That earlier conversation was grounded in Stripe's analysis of US 3DS transactions and explored a counterintuitive but important finding: when 3DS is deployed selectively in unregulated markets, its presence can become correlated with higher-risk transactions, limiting its effectiveness and in some cases negatively impacting authorization outcomes. Since that episode, several developments have occurred, including new analysis by Stripe examining 3DS usage and performance in markets where authentication is required by regulation, a substantial increase in the use of EMVCo "network" tokenization, and research and messaging developed by Entersekt regarding the continued use of authentication in conjunction with tokenization. Chris Uriarte is delighted to welcome back Amandeep Batra from Stripe and Dewald Nolte from Entersekt to address these developments and to explore how authentication and tokenization interact in practice across different regulatory environments.

    Episode 289 - Stablecoin Infrastructure in Emerging Markets, with Chris Maurice, Yellow Card

    Over the past several episodes, we've been building a conversation about how stablecoins are reshaping the global payments landscape. These conversations surfaced something important: this isn't just a technology story. It's a story about access. And there's another critical piece of the puzzle: the infrastructure that makes stablecoin payments actually work on the ground in emerging markets. In this episode, Chris Maurice, the CEO and co-founder of Yellow Card, joins Drew Edmond to explore how stablecoins are transforming global payments, especially in emerging markets, by addressing liquidity issues, reducing costs, improving compliance transparency, and enabling faster cross-border transactions. Listen in as they highlight the challenges of legacy infrastructure, regulatory evolution, interoperability, and the evolving role of banks and technology platforms in this ecosystem.
