Glenbrook Payments Boot Camps

---

 

The Glenbrook Payments Boot Camp is an in-depth view of the payments landscape. Our many satisfied alumni tell us that they value Glenbrook’s Payments Boot Camp for being comprehensive, lively, unbiased, and time-efficient.

We’ll provide you with an intensive, two day “deep dive” into payments systems in the U.S. – providing a unique cross-payments system view of this important industry. Throughout the two days, we focus on ensuring an understanding of how current trends and issues will affect the status quo and on how new and emerging players may complement – or threaten – the industry incumbents. Although we use the U.S. payments industry as the basis for the course, we’ll also explain how other country payments systems differ from those in the U.S.

What’s on the Agenda?

The two days are divided into four sections. Each section is designed to encourage interactive participation by the audience.  We’ll also show some payments videos:  click here to see some of them now.

• Day One: The Payments Systems
• Overview – payments systems designs, functions and uses; payments systems volumes and the dramatic shifts in actual and projected payments usage; key trends and issues in payments systems in the United States; how payments systems compare by economic model, regulatory environment, processing support and risk management
• Perspectives - how each of the key constituents of the industry view payments; economic and other motivations; how behavior is changing and why. Constituents include consumers, banks, merchants, billers, enterprises, networks, processors, and service providers
• International Payments – how other country payments systems compare to the U.S.; major trends in payments systems worldwide; cross-border payments

• Day Two – Emerging Payments
• Framework - what are emerging payments; success factors for payments startups; key “building blocks” used for emerging payments products and solutions
  

  Students listen during the "What is Interchange?" discussion.

When are Payments Boot Camps Held?

Glenbrook conducts five to six Payments Boot Camps per year, in the San Francisco Bay Area and in New York City.  See the Course Schedule for specific dates.

Who Should Attend: Is the Payments Boot Camp Right for You?

Because the Payments Boot Camp is very comprehensive and fast-paced, it is useful both for experienced managers, who often want to be updated on what’s happening in areas outside of their immediate domain, and for newcomers, who need a broad overview of the U.S. payments systems to create a context for their work. The Payments Boot Camp is ideal for:

• Product, strategy, and sales managers from card networks, payments processors and service providers who need to understand how developments in other payments systems impact their offerings, or who have responsibility for developing and selling products and services into the financial services industry
• Bank product managers, risk managers, or sales managers who need a broader perspective or are new to the business
• Technology and service executives who are building products that leverage payment systems
• Investors, inventors and analysts who want to improve their knowledge base on existing and emerging payments systems
• Management teams from payments start-up companies who want to gain insight into what has been successful – and what hasn’t – as our industry has evolved

The Glenbrook Payments Boot Camp is just the way you’d want it—very intense. You’ll be taught by two Glenbrook Partners – seasoned veterans of the industry who have “been there, done that” in senior operating roles in the payments industry. Classes range in size from 30 to 45 and are structured to ensure there is plenty of time for interactive Q&A – both during the sessions and during breaks.

You’ll leave with an understanding of the “big picture” of payments and new insights into the key drivers and most important trends affecting the industry. You’ll also receive a hardcopy of all of our boot camp presentations—a valuable reference resource.

How Much Does It Cost?

Payments Boot Camp Fees are $2,195 per seat. Multiple seat discounts are available – see the Fee Schedule for more information.
