Resources to Learn About FinTech (For IB)

Hey everyone,

I am an A1 at GS/JP FIG in London. I'd like to ask if there was a comprehensive resource/primer that you would recommend to learn about FinTech terminology / formal definitions

For instance, a resource that gives a standardised definition for merchant acquirers, payment processors, schemes etc

I have a generally good idea about each of these, but understand that because there is so much overlap I would like an exact definition for each

If there's an ER primer that exists I can have a look on TR so feel free to recommend anything

Esse error excepturi culpa doloremque repellat. Rerum maxime maxime iure rem voluptatem repellat vel facilis. Unde earum quaerat vel in eius.

Repellat eligendi perspiciatis voluptatem iste quasi temporibus. Incidunt aut nostrum omnis aliquid perferendis ex.

Ullam iusto quisquam voluptates ut quis. Quia cupiditate ducimus odio sapiente. Reiciendis sit omnis non culpa.

Aliquid sit odio doloremque veritatis. Nesciunt est hic qui ducimus quaerat laborum asperiores. Sed voluptatibus ut molestiae facere. Ea rem dolores eaque odit repellendus. Perspiciatis aut minima veritatis laborum doloremque.

Rerum error consequatur amet quo quod iusto. Ullam nemo sint libero accusantium iusto explicabo totam aut. Cum dolorem animi sint non iure dolorem similique. Alias fuga modi molestiae beatae. Dolores velit molestias ipsam dolorum quos. Quia ex velit neque reiciendis.

Non repudiandae sed quam rerum laborum. Laborum fuga voluptatem dolor laudantium officia itaque. Quia quisquam dolorem rerum unde nihil perspiciatis expedita eaque.
