It Pays to Know

Over the past several years, there has been incredible growth among organizations that have embedded payments into their offerings. From Shopify to Toast to ServiceTitan, the business case for creating one-stop-shop services is stronger than ever. It used to be cool to be your own boss. Now, it’s cool to be your own payments provider. At the same time, payments also represent a small piece of an even bigger opportunity to embed other financial services into your software…and that ecosystem grows by the day. Here’s the thing, though: it looks like there’s a lot to understand to get started. What’s more, it seems daunting to do. Between finding the right talent and building and maintaining a custom system – plus ever-changing regulations and fraud concerns – it can feel like there’s plenty to get in the way of you reaching the top of that money mountain. But just when it seems it could be an ascent too steep to climb – this podcast gives you a leg up. Tune in to hear perspectives from senior executives across vertical SaaS, the investment community, payment companies and banks – and learn about what today’s payments pioneers have to say about tomorrow. After all: embedded finance is a $600 billion pie. We think you deserve a piece. Don’t you?
