Leaders In Payments

Fighting Fraud with Tamas Kadar, Co-Founder & CEO of SEON | Episode 497 19.06.2026 35min

Fraud doesn’t usually announce itself with a flashing warning sign. It shows up as a chargeback, a fake account that looks “normal,” or an account takeover that slips through the exact same checkout flow your best customers use. Greg Myers sits down with Tamas Kadar, Co-Founder and CEO of SEON, to unpack how modern fraud actually works and how digital businesses can protect revenue without burying users under friction. Tamas shares the origin story that started with a real loss: a crypto che...

Merchants Can Get Paid Instantly While Cutting Fraud with CEO, Marshall Greenwald, IoniaPay | Episode 496 17.06.2026 22min

A “successful” card payment can still leave merchants waiting days to actually access their money, paying layers of fees along the way, and carrying fraud risk that never truly goes away. That gap between authorization and settlement is where cash flow gets squeezed, reconciliation gets messy, and margins get quietly taxed, especially as more commerce shifts to e-commerce and other card-not-present channels. We sit down with Marshall Greenwald, Founder and CEO of IoniaPay, to talk about chan...

Automating B2B Accounts Receivable with Thomas Cecil, Co-Founder of PAYRA | Episode 495 15.06.2026 19min

A $400,000 B2B card payment sounds simple until a processor flags it, the finance team cannot reconcile it, and the invoice sits open while DSO creeps up. That gap between delivering product and collecting cash is where B2B payments either become a growth engine or a constant operational headache. I sits down with Thomas Cecil, Co-Founder of PAYRA, to unpack how modern accounts receivable automation actually works when you have real scale like thousands of invoices per month and customers pa...

AI You Can Trust, Audit and Keep with Russell Moore, Co-Founder & CEO of Amotivv | Episode 494 11.06.2026 33min

AI is moving from “helpful assistant” to autonomous actor, and payments leaders are about to feel the difference. I sit down with Russell Moore, Co-Founder and CEO of Amotivv, to get concrete about what breaks when generative AI and agentic AI leave the lab and touch regulated data, customer outcomes, and real money movement. We talk through why so many AI initiatives stall after a promising proof of concept: not because the model is useless, but because teams cannot control the context, pro...

Customer Engagement Through Payments with Mike Milotich, CEO of Marqeta | Episode 493 09.06.2026 28min

Payments don’t fail because teams lack ambition, they fail because the infrastructure can’t keep up with what customers expect. We sit down with Mike Milotich, CEO of Marqeta, to unpack how modern issuer processing is changing card issuing from a rigid bank product into configurable, real-time payments infrastructure built for innovation. We trace Mike’s 20-year journey across American Express, PayPal, Visa, and now Marqeta, and use that ecosystem view to explain what actually makes a card p...

How BNY Simplifies Global Money Movement With Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Payments & Trade & Depositary Receipts | Episode 492 04.06.2026 18min

Payments are speeding up everywhere, but the real story is what that speed breaks and what it demands from the people running the rails. I’m joined by Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Payments and Trade and Depositary Receipts at BNY, for a clear-eyed conversation about what’s changing in the payments industry and what leaders should do next when complexity keeps piling up. From her journey through consulting and nearly two decades in payments to leading multiple global roles at BNY, Jennifer ...

The Disbursements Playbook with Stephen Faust, CEO of Dash Solutions | Episode 491 02.06.2026 20min

Paper checks are the easiest payment method to hate and one of the hardest to remove. They are slow, expensive, fraud-prone, and deeply baked into legacy workflows. Greg Myers sits down with Steven Faust, CEO of Dash Solutions, to unpack what it really takes to modernize business payouts and why disbursements have become one of the biggest growth engines in the payments industry. We dig into how Dash builds configurable payments software that supports multiple use cases through a single plat...

Inside Institutional Payments At Scale with Debo Sen, Head of Payments, Services, Citi | Episode 490 28.05.2026 29min

Moving money is easy to describe and brutally hard to do well at global scale. When your network supports thousands of clients across 90+ countries and touches thousands of currency pairs, you start to see a different map of what’s changing in payments and what’s just noise. Greg Myers sits down with Debo Sen, Head of Payments, Services at Citi, to unpack what that vantage point reveals about the future of institutional payments. We get specific on why payments have become strategic for corp...

The Mid Market Tech Gap with David Robinson, Founder of Stratos Development Group | Episode 489 26.05.2026 21min

The mid-market is where tech decisions get dangerous. You are big enough that uptime, security, and delivery speed matter every day, but you are not big enough to burn cash on massive consulting retainers or absorb the fallout from a shaky vendor. That “valley in the middle” is exactly where David Robinson lives, and it is why he built Stratos Development Group to offer right-fit technical leadership, managed services, and software development that feels structured without being out of reach....

Stablecoin Rails For Real-World Payouts with Cyril Mathew, Co-Founder & CEO of Latitude | Episode 488 19.05.2026 25min

Cross-border payouts are one of those problems everyone complains about and then quietly accepts: high fees, slow settlement, and endless workarounds to get money into the hands of real people. I sit down with Cyril Mathew, Co-Founder and CEO of Latitude, to talk about why “faster money movement” only matters when the recipient can actually spend it in local currency, not just hold a stablecoin balance. Cyril walks through the career path that shaped his view of payments infrastructure, from...

Special Series: The Trust Advantage - Surcharging Done Right with Jim Oberman, CEO, Payroc | Episode 487 13.05.2026 25min

A “credit card fee” can protect your margins or quietly create compliance risk, and the difference usually comes down to one word: clarity. We sit down with Jim Oberman, CEO of Payroc, to unpack credit card surcharging in a way that merchants, software platforms, and payments teams can actually use, without hand-waving and without confusing it with every other fee customers see at checkout. We start with the fundamentals: what surcharging is, why it exists, and why it applies only to credit ...

How Banks Can Make Stablecoin Payments Safe & Compliant with Peter Glyman, Founder & CEO at Coinbax | Episode 486 07.05.2026 23min

Final settlement sounds great until you’re the one holding the fraud and compliance risk. That tension sits at the heart of my conversation with Pete Glyman, Founder and CEO of Coinbax, where we explore what it will actually take for stablecoin payments to work for banks, credit unions, and serious fintech programs. Pete shares his path from building and selling a fintech platform to leading digital asset strategy work, and why the regulatory climate and the rise of blockchain, tokenization,...

Gift Cards As Payment Rails with Alex Preece, CEO & Co-Founder of Tillo | Episode 485 05.05.2026 24min

Gift cards have a branding problem and it’s costing the payments world a big idea. Alex Preece, CEO and Co-Founder of Tillo, joins us to make the case that gift cards aren’t really “gifts” at all. They’re programmable stored value, a modern redemption rail that can sit inside bank apps, fintech wallets, cashback programs, employee rewards, refunds, and payouts. Once you see them as a payment instrument, the market looks a lot less like novelty and a lot more like infrastructure. We dig into ...

Stablecoins For Enterprise Payments with Tony Tom, CRO and Co-Founder of Stable Sea | Episode 484 28.04.2026 25min

“Instant” payments are usually a well-designed illusion. The customer experience feels real-time, but behind the scenes money still crawls through delayed settlement, fragmented rails, and market-by-market workarounds. That gap is exactly where stablecoins start to look less like hype and more like infrastructure. We sit down with Tony Tom, CRO and Co-Founder of Stable Sea, to unpack how enterprise stablecoin payments can improve cross-border payments, shorten settlement times, and reduce th...

How vSaaS Platforms are Reshaping Business Operations & the Critical Role of Payments with Brad Pinneke at Worldpay | Ep 483 22.04.2026 22min

Vertical SaaS wins when it feels like it was built by someone who has actually done the job, and that same principle is reshaping payments and fintech. We sit down with Brad Pinneke, Head of Enterprise Business Development at Worldpay (is now Global Payments), to unpack why vertical SaaS platforms have become the day-to-day operating system for small businesses and why “embedded payments” is no longer a nice add-on. When the workflow lives inside the software, money flow becomes unavoidable, ...

Rich Clow, Head of Innovation & Strategy, Global Payments Solutions at Bank of America | Episode 482 16.04.2026 32min

The payments world is full of shiny objects. The hard part is deciding what actually matters to clients and then delivering it safely at global scale. I’m joined by Rich Clow, Head of Innovation and Strategies for Global Payments Solutions at Bank of America, for a grounded look at how a large financial institution evaluates emerging payments technology, turns strategy into products, and keeps the focus on real outcomes like faster settlement, better data, and lower fraud. We unpack what pay...

Get Paid Faster with Garima Shah, President and Co-Founder of Biller Genie | Episode 481 08.04.2026 17min

Waiting 47 days to get paid for work you already finished is more than annoying, it’s a cash-flow killer. I sat down with Garima Shah, President and Co-Founder of Biller Genie, to talk about the unglamorous part of payments that decides whether a business thrives: accounts receivable. We get practical about what actually slows payments down and why “just run the card” ignores the messy reality of invoicing, accuracy, and collections. Garima explains how accounts receivable automation tighten...

Special Series: The Trust Advantage with Brock Robertson, Chief Revenue Officer at Payroc | Episode 480 02.04.2026 21min

Owning payments sounds like a power move until the real bill shows up. We sit down with Brock Robertson, CRO at Payroc, to unpack how payment strategy for software platforms is shifting again and why so many vertical SaaS leaders are stepping back from the “everyone should be a Payfac” era. We trace the evolution from payments as a bolt-on utility to embedded payments as a true growth engine, then get honest about what “control” actually requires: underwriting, compliance, disputes, fraud mo...

The Signal: Embedded Finance - The real value: ISV customer retention and stickiness with Whitney Ganibegovic, Worldpay | Episode 479 31.03.2026 24min

Payments alone rarely make a software platform unforgettable. The moment merchants start using your product to access working capital, manage cash flow, move money through payouts, and keep reconciliation tight, the relationship changes. I sit down with Whitney Ganibegovic, Senior Sales Executive at Worldpay (now part of Global Payments), to unpack why embedded finance is quickly becoming one of the most practical drivers of retention, account growth, and long-term platform value for ISVs and...

Stopping Subscription Churn with Charles Rosenblatt, CEO of Butter | Episode 478 26.03.2026 23min

Your churn dashboard might be accusing your product of something your payments stack actually did. When a renewal charge fails, customers can disappear even if they still want what you sell, and that “involuntary churn” quietly drains ARR, wrecks retention analysis, and forces teams to make the wrong fixes. In this episode I sit down with Charles Rosenblatt, CEO of Butter, to unpack how subscription businesses can recover revenue from failed card payments using machine learning. We get speci...
