Episode 93 – Fitting QR Codes into the Card System – Bastien Latge, EMVCo
Ever wonder about EMVCo's role in the development and implementation of its technical specifications? Take a listen to Bastien Latge, EMVCo's director of technology and Glenbrook's George Peabody as they discuss EMVCo's EMV®* QR Code Specification for QR code-based transaction initiation in the card system. While developed card markets are shifting to contactless cards and NFC-using mobile phone wallets to kick off payments, the QR code offers a flexible, very low cost alternative. There's a lot to learn here.
Episode 92 – Fintech Leaders Talk Payments – Fintech South Atlanta 2019
Payments on Fire® usually focuses on a single topic, typically a fintech company and the business or personal challenges it addresses.

Episode 91 – Contactless Magic on a Merchant Smartphone – Maxime de Nanclas, Mobeewave
Five years on from Apple Pay's release, contactless payment cards are just getting off the ground here in the U.S. but in much of the rest of the card world, contactless payments of both kinds are common practice. In London, half of the card transactions are contactless. The same is true in Canada. While it's true that the vast majority of these are card-based, not via mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, even the mobile wallets are gaining momentum.
