Understanding the Payment Process

 

Players in the Payment Process 

• Issuers: Financial institutions that provide cardholders with various bank cards and set the terms and conditions for their use. They act as the initiators and organizers of the bank card market.
• Acquirers: Financial institutions authorized by card networks to handle key tasks in the payment process, such as signing agreements with merchants, processing authorization requests, and settling transactions.
• Cardholders: The driving force behind the bank card market. They use cards issued by financial institutions to make purchases from merchants.
• Card Networks (Visa, Mastercard, etc.): The backbone of the system. They establish and manage information exchange networks that connect issuing and acquiring institutions. These networks facilitate key functions like authorization, clearing and settlement, and provide additional services like marketing and fraud protection.
• Third-party service providers: Offer a variety of specialized services within the payment ecosystem, such as data transmission companies, independent financial service providers, or payment processing support specialists.
• Designated merchants (retail businesses, individuals, or organizations): Accept bank cards as a payment method and partner with acquirers to process transactions and receive settlements.
