Podcasts about international payments

As CEO & Co-Founder of Sling Money, Mike is transforming how we think about sending funds across borders by making international transfers as effortless as sending a text message.During our conversation, Mike reveals how a personal experience moving USDC between the UK and San Francisco sparked his vision. The transfer itself was instant and free, but everything around it felt clunky – "like using a Unix command line from the 80s." This insight led him to create what he calls "the macOS or iPhone of stablecoins," abstracting away all of the complexity. Sling's elegant approach allows users to add money through local payment methods in 75 countries, convert to stablecoins behind the scenes, and send funds globally in just seconds. Recipients can withdraw to their local currency almost instantly, never needing to understand the underlying technology. The use cases range from practical (managing finances across multiple countries) to spontaneous (buying someone a beer across continents) – transactions that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive.Mike places this innovation in a fascinating historical context, comparing the evolution of international payments to what happened with telecommunications and streaming video. Just as we no longer think twice about "long-distance calls," he envisions a future where the concept of "international payments" disappears entirely.Ready to experience the future of global money transfer?

Guiding international students through account payments can be tricky. With currency exchange rates constantly changing, it can be difficult for students to be confident that they are paying the correct amount. On this episode of FOCUS, Mike Pilman, System Administrator for the Account Receivables Office at Tulane University, joins us to give insight on how Tulane works with TouchNet and TransferMate to simplify payments for international students while improving administrative processes for their staff and protecting the institution against fraud. . Tulane University Tulane University was founded in 1834 in New Orleans as the Medical College of Louisiana. Today, the university is a private research institution with 14,500 students across ten undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools. Ten percent of the school's population are international, coming from 90 countries. Pilman says that the institution is looking to expand its international population, particularly in graduate degree programs. Issues with cross-border payments With so many international students from so many different countries, the common issues with international payments added up for Tulane. . Students are not only unfamiliar with U.S. banking systems, but also with calculating currency exchange rates with ever changing market rates. This led to incorrect payment amounts, delayed payments, and payments with no student account information included. The combination of issues left a lot of work for accounts receivables to manually fix. Tulane needed a solution to automate their processes and found it in TransferMate. TransferMate Tulane first began working with TransferMate 11 years ago to support cross-border payments which helped tremendously with backend reconciliation. But it wasn't until they transitioned to using the integration between TransferMate and TouchNet that they saw the biggest change. Through this integration, students are able to initiate payments with TransferMate directly in their Student Account Center. The embedded solution includes a currency exchange calculator that converts the student's payment amount from US dollars to the equivalent in their local currency. The student completes the details of the transaction within their account and then pays TransferMate according to instructions provided. TransferMate then handles all the details of the currency exchange, cash clearing, and the transmission of payment directly to Tulane. Students are able to access their account at any time to check the status of their payment and TransferMate offers 24/7 customer service. Campus adoption Using TransferMate is now the preferred payment option for international students at Tulane. The embedded solution is easily adopted by students, which Pilman attributes to the integration with TouchNet Payment Center. “Having it [TransferMate] embedded in the billing and payments portal, that really was the biggest factor,” says Pilman. Tulane also provides general advice on TransferMate on their payment options webpage, which is listed on the Student Accounts Receivable and Office of International Students websites. They also talk to students about it during orientation to make sure every international student knows about it. Helping more than just students Aside from international students, TransferMate alleviated many stressors for the accounts receivable staff. Before, staff had to manually alter accounts with any issues. Now, problems with balances and reconciliation are automatically updated with TransferMate, giving staff more time to focus on student needs. With TransferMate, the need for students to use bank wires has decreased significantly, which has strengthened Tulane's cybersecurity.. Previously, the institution had their bank wire information on their website for international students to use, leaving Tulane open to bad actors. They still offer wire transfers to students, but only need to give out their bank wire information upon request. Simplifying international payments In parting advice, Pilman recounts the benefit of going to higher education conferences and learning from other institutions who can serve as a model for your school. He believes that a more universal approach focused on making the payment process as easy as possible for students and payers is the first step in creating new paths for payments.

Today's interview partner of Enzo Caputo is Dario Berta, a former director with UBS. We have opened the first business bank accounts for our international clients doing business with commodities around the globe. Clients with important turnovers are accepted for all trade finance activities. Dario Berta is very happy with the trade finance activities of certain specific Swiss banks. Our few Swiss banks have recognised the latent needs of the market. If you do business with commodities you need a strong bank capable to execute international transactions with high amounts of money. If you need a business bank account for the execution of your international transactions call us or write an email. We are happy to introduce your business to our Swiss trade finance banks.

Jason Mugford, President and CEO of Ascendant is our special guest this week on episode 130 of the Leaders in Payments podcast.  Jason is a Toronto native and loyal fintech supporter. He talks with me about his journey in the industry and how he went from an aspiring Lacrosse player to a seasoned payments professional. Ascendant is an international accounts payable and receivable business that facilitates foreign payments for companies on a global scale.  One of their most notable services is reducing the vertical fraud and risk investigation potential for their international customers and tracking payments from release to remittance. According to Jason, this not only adds more transparency to the industry but also reduces investigations from an average of 20% to less than 1%.  As for the future of our industry, Jason predicts that both sides of the transaction will eventually come together as a network, enabling us to expedite the movement of money in a more seamless fashion.And can you believe all this started with a childhood affinity for Thomas Cook travelers checks?

So, how did he go from this to CEO of the only non-US bank in the world to have a direct relationship with the US Federal Reserve? Well, “the harder you work, the luckier you get” is one of his favorite adages, if that tells you anything.Moneycorp is an international payments and foreign exchange company that leads the industry in providing global payments and currency risk management to corporations and partners around the world. They have $50 billion in foreign-exchange flows and $200 million in top-line revenue and facilitate 6 million individual payments on an annual basis. Bobs talk about where the industry is headed as it relates to real-time, low-value payment rails and blockchain – and how his company kept global economies afloat by delivering cash throughout the world during the COVID pandemic.

I love the smell of a legitimate project, which is the reason why I found this podcast topic to be of interest. Lightnet, a project based on the Stellar blockchain, will apparently be moving $50 Billion of International Payments by 2022 by targeting the Southeast Asian region. But I never heard of it, until this morning. That is not normal as usually projects like this are splashed everywhere, or at least that is the way that we do it in the marketing world. What is even more interesting is that Lightnets’ CEO is Mike Kennedy previously founded Zelle, a digital payments network which processes over $75bn in transactions on an annual basis. They are actually launching this platform now, as in Q1 of 2020, which raises the question, what marketing have they done to this region, what is the plan to gain traction for the use of this platform, and will it be as successful as Zelle. Why Stellar? Join me and Forbes.com writer Ben Jessel and learn about a project which may be my new case study in marketing a financial platform. Here is a link to the article which attracted my interest: https://www.forbes.com/sites/benjessel/2020/01/15/lightnet-targets-moving-50bn-annually-in-international-payments-on-the-stellar-blockchain-network/ SUBSCRIBE to our social channels and never miss an episode: SPOTIFY   iTunes   Stitcher   Soundcloud   Google Play Music   Tunein   Castbox   Podchaser   Pocket Casts   Overcast   iHeartRadio   PlayerFM   YouTube   acast   podnews   Castbox   poddtoppen   Feedspot   kimcoin   PodBean   Chartable   LISTEN NOTES    ____________________________ Do you want us to talk about your project or company?

Meanwhile, Robinhood moved a bit too fast, Bill.com's international payments is growing rapidly, MindBridge Ai and Kabbage secured new funding, Monopoly goes cashless, and more.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I'm Zack Miller. International payments and money transfer firms are among the first of this generation's fintech leaders. But even if they offer white-label or API solutions, companies like TransferWise are typically strongly focused on an end customer. Currencycloud takes a different approach, helping other fintechs, community banks and other FIs to offer international payments and FX. Standard Bank, Monese, Starling Bank, Klarna and Travelex are all customers. Currencycloud Co-founder Richard Arundel moved to the US a couple of years ago to spearhead the UK firm's expansion. We talk about the nature of different geographies approach to fintech and how big tech payment solutions are the biggest threat to banks and fintechs alike. Richard Arundel is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.

Just travel to Canada and you'll see some really interesting developments -- and here to explain it all is Ryan Stewart, North American Chief Commercial Officer for Bambora, a Swedish payments company founded in 2015.

Doing business across borders adds complex layers to your enterprise. But moving payments into other currencies? This should be simple. That’s what we think … and that’s what our latest guest thinks. He’s built an entire business on the premise of ethical, common-sense trading. On our latest podcast, Jeff Scanlon, CEO and President of Paymentearth joined us to unravel the complexities of FX payments. Previously, Jeff worked at Ruesch International overseeing the LA Territory,  and later at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange, where he quickly topped the chart in the sales department as customers enjoyed his ethical and transparent style. After nearly 25 years in the FX industry, he and a colleague decided a better, simpler, more transparent option needed to be available to small and medium size businesses doing international payments. That’s how Paymentearth was born in July of 2016.

This week we've got an excellent episode which looks at applying breakthrough technology, to frontier markets. You've probably heard of Bitcoin and blockchain, and here Elizabeth Rossiello CEO and founder of Bitpesa and I discuss how this technology can help African businesses grow through improving how they make international payments. Why? Well in mature markets there's a lot of liquidity between different currencies, meaning if you wanted to trade between Euros to Dollars to Pounds, the fact there's lots of people trading it means you can get a good price. However, when you are looking to trade African currencies, there's not so much activity meaning companies are getting caught with high high prices to move money around the world, such as paying suppliers. Bitpesa has stepped in to provide financial remittance services for anyone wanting to buy or sell African currencies, with Bitcoin and digital currencies acting behind the scenes to smoothen the process. Just a heads up that this interview took place over an internet call which is different to the in person episodes done to date, and also that Elizabeth will be speaking at The Economist's Innovation Summit in Nairobi, and so be sure to check that out if you're interested in learning more.

Faster payments, B2B payments, international remittances, cross-currency, and cross-border payments. These are hot topics and major challenges the payments industry must address. Central to all is the ability to represent, in an interoperable fashion, the information that surrounds the payment itself. What’s this payment for? Who is it for? Where’s it going? These are information gaps that bedevil B2B payments and all of the above. Extensible standards in general and ISO 20022 in particular are the answer. The International Payments Framework Association (IPFA) is dedicated to expanding the utility of ISO 20022 through rule building around the usage of this data representation method. Standardized business messages are huge and that’s what the standard and the IPFA are all about. In this podcast, the IPFA’s CEO, Glenbrook’s own Elizabeth McQuerry, addresses ISO 20022 itself, the IPFA’s role, and updates to accommodate international faster payments. Cross-border money may finally fly.   

Understand how to make efficient international payments that take advantage of competitive exchange rates.
