Your engineers will build and operate a complete payment system on their laptop
From issuing payment cards to processing contactless transactions and printing receipts. Give your team deep, hands-on understanding of the payment infrastructure that powers billions of transactions worldwide.
What Your Team Will Build
Issue Payment Cards
Create personalized payment cards using JavaCard technology. Understand card chip architecture and payment application deployment.
Process Real Transactions
Use professional NFC readers to process contactless payments. Print custom receipts with your company logo.
Operate Both Sides
Run issuer (bank) and acquirer (processor) systems. Experience the complete authorization flow from both perspectives.
Master ISO 8583
Deep dive into the messaging standard that powers global payment networks. Build, route, and process real payment messages.
Why This Workshop Matters
Most engineers see only fragments of the payment ecosystem. They might understand acquiring at a high level, or work with issuing APIs, but rarely experience both sides of the network. This workshop changes that. Your team will understand how their code fits into the bigger picture, make better architectural decisions, and build more robust payment integrations.
What Participants Say
The workshop was one of the most practical deep dives into card authorization flows I've attended. It bridges the gap of viewing the authorization stream from one end to seeing the full end-to-end card flow implementation in action. Its a must attend for anyone building payment infrastructure.
Workshop Facilitator
Pavel Gabriel
- with nearly 20 years in fintech, I've built and scaled payment solutions
across the full technology stack. I've designed resilient payment architectures for companies like Moov Financial,
architecting their multi-network card processing infrastructure. I author and maintain open-source Go packages
that provide foundational building blocks for payment systems, including ISO 8583, BER-TLV, EMV,
and other critical payment protocols.
