Why Payment Channels Matter

Ken Hertzler

Payment processing platforms can’t be one-size-fits-all. They need to be designed to fit the underlying businesses they serve, says Ken Hertzler, former Head of Product Marketing and Programs at Vantiv. You don’t pay for a meal the same way you pay a doctor’s bill. And with the rise of alternative methods for making payments – like voice recognition systems – successful platforms will have to manage and optimize a whole new suite of technologies beyond credit and debit cards. The products that will win, Hertzler says, are those that make payments easier, safer, and more reliable for consumers.
