This episode is sponsored by American Express. Dean Leavitt, founder and CEO of Boost Payment Solutions, takes us behind the scenes of a revolution happening in enterprise-level B2B payments. Founded to fill a critical gap in the market, Boost has spent 16 years perfecting technology that streamlines how large organizations pay their suppliers.At the center of our discussion is the transformative power of virtual cards – single-use payment instruments that dramatically enhance security while simplifying operations. Unlike traditional payment methods that require companies to maintain sensitive banking information of thousands of suppliers, virtual cards create a secure, automated payment flow that dramatically reduces fraud risk. As Dean proudly shares, Boost has never experienced a single chargeback or fraud loss in its entire history.The conversation spotlights Boost's groundbreaking collaboration with American Express, featuring their patented Boost Intercept technology. This innovation solves a persistent pain point in virtual card adoption by converting what were once manual, email-based payment processes into fully automated, straight-through experiences. The partnership enables American Express corporate customers to shift more spending to virtual cards while eliminating operational friction for suppliers receiving these payments.Beyond the technical details, Dean shares insights into the "PARTS" framework (Pricing, Automation, Reporting, Timing, Security) that guides their approach to payment optimization. The conversation reveals how thoughtful technology implementation creates genuine win-win scenarios for both sides of the transaction equation, making this a fascinating exploration of how innovation is reshaping corporate financial operations.

In this episode of FinTech Confidential, hosts Tedd Huff and Colton Pond welcome the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Tandym, David Anderson. Tandym is changing the way payments work by offering branded payment platforms for merchants. This approach helps reduce processing costs and boosts customer loyalty.Traditional payment processing fees are high and hurt online brands. Tandym aims to fix this by offering branded payment products that are more efficient and cost-effective. For example, They can lower a brand's payment processing costs by up to 80%. This allows brands to save money and use it to reward loyal customers, keeping them happy and coming back for more.Tandym's model combines payments and lending, shaped by extensive experience from working with lending and credit projects at Capital One. This unique model offers both credit and payment solutions in one platform. The closed-loop network minimizes traditional fees, making the payment process simpler and cheaper for businesses.Modernizing tech stacks is crucial for launching unique products. At traditional institutions, it could take 12 months and a lot of money to launch a new product. In contrast, Tandym's platform allows merchants to launch their payment programs quickly and efficiently, even on something as simple as airplane Wi-Fi. This speed and efficiency provide a significant advantage over traditional players in the financial services industry.The future direction of the payments industry suggests that as consumer expectations evolve, technologies like merchant-branded payment solutions and pay-by-bank will become more common. This shift will make the payment landscape more inclusive and cost-effective for merchants and consumers alike.Stay tuned for more episodes as Tedd Huff and Colton Pond continue to explore the world of fintech.Key HighlightsCutting Costs by 80%Branded payment platforms help online brands cut their payment processing costs by up to 80%.

He opens up on the what I call "Nordic countries" leadership style.How that culture in turn creates education and inspires others... such that the biggest compliment as a leader and entrepreneur you can have is someone leaving to start their business...How to nurture passion in employees... yes it's a very deliberate thing he does, almost like a principle for life.How Silverflow differentiates with DATA, Simplicity and enabling Innovation!Why solutions built in the 80s are legacy systems: back then they had a different mindset, it was expensive, and captured the minimum required data! - which is a blocker in today's world!The role of Payments Processors and Data in the gigantic challenge of fighting fraud!And of course the ONE thing he would change in the world of FinTech to have the most impact on customers, FinTechers and Shareholders!If you enjoy this Purpose Driven FinTech pod, please subscribe in YouTube, follow and leave a 5 star rating.

As humans, our brains like to organize things - classify them, put them in silos. This thinking often works to our advantage - enabling deep analysis and understanding. Sometimes, though, it can work against us. We can be bound to a siloed thought process - a “this or that” false choice that causes us to miss the greater value inherent in doing both. In searching for guests who will inspire us to eschew false choices in favor of unexpected combinations, we met Glendy Kam, Chief Product Officer at Tassat. In this episode, Yvette enjoyed geeking out on payments innovation with Glendy and digging into how Tassat is creating an infrastructure enabling $1.4Tr in payments for commercial bank customers.  For all the participants who have been through a Glenbrook workshop and have asked about real-world use cases for distributed ledgers and blockchain technologies in payments, or are trying to figure out how to combine new and existing technologies to solve a problem, this episode is for you. Enjoy!
