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
