Years in Online Payments

I am a freelance consultant specialising in online payments.

With a broad mix of in-depth technical and domain knowledge, a bag full of methodology and strategic and pragmatic thinking, I help small and large companies on their online payments challenges.

Before working as a freelancer, i worked as a product manager, always with responsibilities for payments, fraud and billing topics. The product focus helped me to very well understand how payments are embedded into business processes and how they function technically. Noteworty employers were: ClickandBuy, Arvato Finance, XING and SoundCloud.

Being well connected in the payments industry, i also organise events and contribute to knowlede sharing on payments.

In January 2022, i launched PreAuth Academy, a dedicated service on payment training.

A few problems that i helped solving for my clients:

“Why do fee amounts change over the course of a year?”
“Why is 3D conversion so bad, what can we do?”
“Which dunning provider works best with our ERP?”
“We need a transaction monitoring system that fulfils regulatory requirements and that can be set up quickly”
“We want a payments expert that solves complexities and who challenges our assumptions”
“I want to understand how the fees we pay are composed, and why”
“We need a product manager who helps us with a PSP migration”
“Our chargeback rates are too high in country X, what can we do?”
“We need to pay out to individuals and businesses in many countries”
“We want to centralise our payments infrastructure, which is currently managed by local subsidiaries”
“We want to centralise our payments infrastructure, as payments are managed by each project”
“Can we resell our billing platform to others?”

„Moritz’s payment expertise always assured me that the payments and fraud topics were in good hands. Payments just worked.“
