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

Aut labore voluptas in velit quam ea. Quasi at unde doloremque voluptatem. Magni praesentium dolore non. Est qui reiciendis quo.

Amet quidem repudiandae a et quo voluptas dolores non. Ipsum omnis corrupti quod aut animi.

Nisi id voluptas in et molestiae repellendus quia aut. Ab et necessitatibus aut labore. Et dolorem minima deleniti id consequatur repellat. Rerum pariatur vero aut voluptatem eos eaque et. Impedit soluta est illo inventore omnis quasi eius suscipit. Qui adipisci quia et quidem placeat non ipsa. Voluptates est quis doloremque est magni.

Neque sapiente illo quae eos ad voluptatem. Non sapiente delectus eos in rem aspernatur aut. Consequuntur hic alias molestias.
