The payment revolution we are witnessing is built on a few basic tenets: Markets need to connect buyers and sellers in a simple fashion; payments need to be easy and the network must be secure. Very early in the process, entrepreneurs address a critical business question: Do I build the payments platform in-house and control the experience? Or, do I outsource this function to a third-party provider? If you outsource, at what point (if ever) in the business lifecycle does it make sense to manage this function internally?

Please join us for a discussion on this critical business topic and hear from a range of experts. We will address issues spanning the growth stage up through the late stage and across geographies. A process checklist will be provided.
