One Rail, One Price: Taking the Credential Out of Payments

With Mike Ward (Mica) and host Sarah Stapp (The Payments Shed)

In this episode

Mica CEO Mike Ward sits down with Sarah Stapp, co-founder and co-host of The Payments Shed, at Money20/20 USA in Las Vegas. They cover:

  • Why every new kind of value, from stablecoins to loyalty points, ends up on its own rail

  • How Multi-Tender handles points, a coupon and a debit card in a single authorization

  • What Mica authorizes with instead of a card number or token, and what that leaves for fraudsters

  • How Mica keeps the issuer in the flow as stablecoins grow

  • Why a $2,000 purchase shouldn’t cost twenty times more to authorize than a $100 one

Originally recorded for The Payments Shed Podcast at Money20/20 USA, The Venetian, Las Vegas.
