Rotman Business of Payments Program
Navigate a rapidly changing industry.
The Canadian payments industry accounts for nearly 1% of GDP with revenues from payment activities estimated at over $16.4B in 2016 — and it's changing, rapidly.

Your competitive advantage in a shifting landscape.
Over the course of the program, you will gain a solid understanding of the changing context of the payments landscape, and the forces and trends shaping its future. You will develop the knowledge and competencies you need to stay ahead.

The Business of Payments was well worth the time and investment. Even as someone who has worked in payments for years, I came away with useful insights and new connections. I would recommend the program to anyone interested in this rapidly changing space.
Joanna Simon | Head of Operations
UBS
I really appreciated the diversity of the speakers, to provide a set of truly universal perspectives on how the Payments industry affects stakeholders differently. I don't see a better way for someone new to the Payments business, to develop a thorough and meaningful understanding of where the industry stands today, and where the future of Payments will take us.
Bob Pocius | Managing Director, Infrastructure, Treasury and Payment Solutions

The caliber of instructors and presenters was world class and the interaction with staff and students provided for rich learning. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to better understand the rapidly changing payments landscape in Canada and around the world, regardless of whether you are new to payments or more experienced in this field.
Wilson Griffiths | Senior Vice President, Member Solutions

I came with ground zero knowledge and experience in this realm, but the course gave me all I needed: from details of the many intermediaries to transactions and payments, to the strategic level current trends and future opportunities in the financial services world, including paytech and fintech.
Shaheen Dewani | Category Manager, Procurement, Payments and Channels
ATB Financial
I have been following payment systems for a few years now but I have never had it presented like that. Not only does it covers everything you need to know on payments, but you also get to hear first-hand from some of the top executives and innovators in the country on their vision for the future of payments.
Abdelkader Benbrahim | Financial Sector Advisor
Making Finance Work for Africa
African Development Bank Group
The presenters they had were the main people in the industry, the ones that had developed policy, the ones that were advising governments and running companies. The people attending were the ones working at the forefront of the payments industry. If you want to know about Payments in Canada, this is the place to start.
Alex Morton | Category Sourcing Manager
