"From my experience with The Payments Institute, as a student and now as faculty, the time TPI invests in ensuring actionable knowledge is provided to each student throughout each course is second to none. In addition, the level of importance and the time TPI provides for networking, learning, and building genuine connections with each other makes TPI an invaluable experience. In today's ever-evolving financial technology world and increased demands from the market to enhance how and ways monies are exchanged, TPI is well worth being a reoccurring participant."
