Who are we
Ahmed Siddiqui
Bestselling Author & Instructor of Anatomy of the Swipe | Product @ Branch | Ex Marqeta, IBM
When I started working in payments 10 years ago at Marqeta, I had to learn everything by myself, as all of the information was being kept in a black box by banks.
After making numerous mistakes and a lot of confusion, I eventually became one of the founding members of new innovations in card payments.
Now, I’m sharing my knowledge with books and online courses, while growing another payments startup Branch to 1 billion $.
