CardTraq Blog

This blog explores the economics, operations, and compliance requirements of global card networks such as Visa and Mastercard (often referred to as card schemes in other regions). We focus on network fees, network compliance, monitoring programs, and the operational realities issuers and acquirers face as payment rules, costs, and expectations continue to evolve. The goal is to turn network updates into practical insight that supports better planning, lower risk, and more informed decision-making across payments organizations.
