Introduction and overview
Welcome to the Payment Gateway Essentials course and thanks for signing up!
We’re guessing the reason you’re taking this course is because you’ve got an interest in mobile money and want to know more about how our iNSight Payment Gateway enables these services.
We are excited to have you on this journey with us and can’t wait to introduce you to the fascinating world of mobile money and how we are working to transform lives every day.
This is the first in a three part series on the iNSight Payment Gateway. In this course we’ll provide you with a basic history of mobile money, and take a look at the ways it is being used today. We’ll then cover the components that make up a typical mobile money ecosystem, and discuss how our iNSight Payment Gateway fits into this system. Lastly, we will discuss why an organisation would want to deploy a payment gateway, and take a look at the technology behind ours.
Because of this course’s dual nature, you will come to understand both the theoretical underpinnings of mobile money and payment gateways, as well as the practical applications of this technology.
Mobile money and the payment gateways that enable it, is a relatively new and potentially complex subject area, but its importance in our increasingly technological society can not be understated.
The entire foundation of our iNSight application is enabling mobile transactions for millions of users. If you want to become a part of this exciting challenge to solve today’s biggest fintech problems and set yourself apart, you need to learn the foundations.
That’s why we’ve built this course for you.
So whether you have signed up for the course purely as a knowledge seeker, or as an experienced iNSight Payment Gateway engineer, you will come away with a better basis on which to build your further studies and practice.
So what are we waiting for, let’s jump straight into it!
