Samee Zafar

The credit card industry today is a multi-trillion dollar business that employs hundreds of thousands of people across the globe and impacts literally billions of people every day. Yet there is no comprehensive book or reference material available in the marketplace that provides fact-based perspectives on how to develop and manage a successful card business - despite the significant demand from all those involved in the industry. Developing and Managing a Successful Payment Cards Business offers information, analysis, observations, perspectives and advice on developing and managing a card business. There is comprehensive coverage of all areas including card business strategy, product development, customer acquisition and retention strategies, and product marketing techniques. The book also reviews underlying infrastructure components relating to operations and systems including risk management and transaction processing and suggests improvement techniques. There is detailed discussion on portfolio performance and profitability evaluation, as well as new technology developments and emerging payment systems such as chip cards and mobile payments.

And the growth potential has not likely been exhausted, because consumers continue to opt for cards, instead of cash and check, in virtually every part of the world, both emerging markets and developed economies alike. At the same time, however, the cards business has found itself increasingly wrapped in controversy, especially as merchants have taken issue with rising cost. For a large, growing, and controversial industry, Slawsky and Zafar's new book provides a blueprint that explains how the business actually works and as such should interest a wide range of readers, including financial services executives and managers, as well as investors, regulators, and policy-makers.' Kenneth Posner, Morgan Stanley, NY, U.S.A 'Delivers an excellent topology of the business of payments. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the history and the future of payments. Its practical approach to cards makes it a valuable resource for people in the cards business and for those beginning their careers in cards. The authors’ insight on what constitutes an effective marketing strategy provides an excellent framework for card issuers to develop and execute strategies that will deliver results. A must-read'.
