@defyneric@shmichael_eth It's not about design - these blank Apple Pay examples are a workaround for fast GTM, sharing an existing BIN certification. One troublesome program and the full BIN gets shut down in Apple, dragging all programs within. "Get Apple Pay in weeks" is a very questionable promise.

Here’s what’s new ↓
@alphasaurr@defyneric@KulipaXYZ It is the latter. Issuers (us) and acquirers are participants of the same system but we both have the schemes as a common denominator.
@alexsmiles14 Great article - key word here is "enforcement", which may end up shaping the whole industry; hopefully for the benefit of those who haven't taken shortcuts. Same key word applies for solicitation, tokenization, etc.
@sidgandhi_xyz@xnxswe@AriEiberman Some issuers offer straight interchange bps and pass through the full network/scheme costs -which end up being higher than perceived interchange in most cases-, while others share what's left net of fees. There are tradeoffs everywhere anyways.
@raagulanpathy@camelagainagain@sidgandhi_xyz@BasedOneX Hey Raagulan, congrats on what you are building. Card programs don't have the best unit economics. However, that loss is not a given. It's an imbalance between issuer and program's economics. Use cases (ticket size) and geographical distribution play a significant part too.
@xnxswe@AriEiberman@sidgandhi_xyz Indeed all Visa/MC cards have a ~1% + ~$0.30 network fee on cross-border + other scheme fees. However, not all issuers pass them through to the card program, and if doing so, not all card programs pass them to the user.
Ready does not have that problem from the very beginning.
