Product Owner Auth Gateway

The Authorization Gateway (Auth GW) is Capital One's front door to the world of payments. When customers use their cards, an authorization request is sent through a complex web of systems and technologies. This request changes hands multiple times between payment industry players like issuers, networks, and merchant acquiring banks. With the Auth GW, Capital One is able to both ingest authorizations from networks or directly connect to a merchant's point of sale, circumventing other players and vertically integrating more deeply into the payments stack.
