The Field Guide to Global Payments

I work in the Fintech industry - specifically a global payments processor, and can say this book is a great intro to the subject, covering a wide range of relevant topics in a well-summarized and easy to read manner. There are certainly other books that dive deeper into some of the topics, but as a 101 this is up to date and on point in the subjects covered.

What a relief to read a smart, well-written book that delivers on its promise of useful content. So many biz books give too many redundant examples for the content they provide. This book is different. I found the writing and organization to be logical, thoughtful, and easily accessible to readers at all levels of experience.

Absolutely a field guide, and certainly not a reference manual. Great for an overview of payments infrastructure and the industry, but still missing some things like ISO 20022 messaging, correspondent banking, and DNS networks’ impact on processing among banks in the B2B section.

Extremely readable and conversational, impressive distillation of complex topics. Was impressed by the breadth covered

I work in fintech – this book's a great primer for those looking for a friendly introduction to how payments and payment tech have developed over time. Compared to other books covering the same breadth of material, I found this to be a friendly read and a helpful refresher!

A quick, high level overview of the payment industry, payment methods and how they work. A great intro to understand these areas

Highly recommended for folks in the industry or anyone trying to understand how the complicated world of payments works.

For anyone looking to ground their understanding of the card payments ecosystem and vocabulary will find this a easy to read, clearly presented tutorial.

Finally the book we were all waiting for. If you work in Fintech, in the payments industry or simply are interested how funds move, that's the right book for you. A must read! Well explained.

This book is outstanding for anyone entering the field of payments or interested in learning more about the space. Sophia lays out all you need to know about the way global payments work in a simple yet comprehensive manner.
