Angela Strange and Gabriel Vásquez speak with Addi founder and CEO Santiago Suárez about building one of Latin America's largest financial platforms.

Serving millions of consumers and tens of thousands of merchants, Addi sits at the intersection of financial services and commerce in Colombia.

Send us Fan MailIf I walked into your organization today and asked you one simple question — “What is your revenue cycle trying to tell you?” — would you know the answer?Not your collections rate. Not your days in A/R. Not your monthly deposits. I mean the deeper answer. What operational stories are hiding inside your numbers right now?Because most healthcare organizations still think about revenue cycle as a billing department function. Claims go out. Payments come in. Denials get worked. Aging gets reviewed. End of story.But high-performing organizations understand something very different: your revenue cycle is not just billing. It is operational intelligence. It is one of the clearest mirrors of how your organization is actually functioning.Every metric tells a story. Your denial patterns tell stories. Your charge lag tells stories. Your payer behavior tells stories. Your provider coding and undercoding variation tells stories. Your scheduling data tells stories. Even your unapplied credits and unpostables tell stories. And the organizations that thrive financially are usually the organizations that have learned how to listen carefully.So today I want to challenge you to think differently about your revenue cycle. Not as a back-office function. Not as an administrative burden. But as one of the most important diagnostic tools in your entire organization.Because here's the truth: your revenue cycle is talking to you every single day. The question is whether anyone is listening.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Have you ever had a prospect enthusiastically say yes, only to have the sale stall when it came time to pay?   In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch explores a surprisingly common mistake that costs business owners real revenue: creating unnecessary friction in the payment process.   Many entrepreneurs are looking for ways to reduce expenses and avoid credit card processing fees. While the intention is understandable, Nikki explains why asking clients to jump through extra hoops to pay can slow momentum, create hesitation, and even cause deals to fall apart entirely.   When a buyer is ready to move forward, every additional step introduces risk. Whether it's asking someone to send a bank transfer, use a payment platform they don't normally use, or manually pay invoices month after month, friction can quickly turn excitement into delay.   Nikki shares practical examples of how payment processes impact buyer behavior, why recurring payment systems strengthen client relationships, and how hidden labor costs often outweigh the savings business owners hope to gain by avoiding payment processing fees.   If you've ever wondered whether your payment process is helping or hurting your sales, this episode challenges you to rethink how easy it is for clients to do business with you.   In this episode, learn: Why friction is one of the biggest threats to closing a sale How payment delays can lead to lost revenue The hidden costs of manually chasing invoices and late payments Why recurring payment systems often improve client relationships How complicated payment options can reduce buyer momentum Simple ways to make it easier for clients to pay you Why convenience is often more valuable than avoiding fees   A question to consider: How many steps does a buyer have to take after they say yes? And are these extra steps helping your business, or costing you sales?   The easier you make it for clients to take action, the more likely they are to follow through.   Listen in to learn how a few small changes to your payment process can create a smoother experience, increase conversions, and keep more of the business you've already earned.   Did this episode resonate with you? Please subscribe to the Sales Maven Show and share it with another business owner who wants to remove friction from their sales process and make it easier for clients to say yes.   .....................................   You're invited to join the Sales Maven Society.

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 paying by card, ACH, wire, or check. We talk through PAYRA's approach to the invoice-to-cash cycle, why deep ERP integrations matter more than glossy dashboards, and how automated payment reconciliation into the general ledger eliminates the manual posting that blocks adoption. Thomas also explains the practical details finance teams care about, like handling surcharging and posting to multiple GL entries without breaking the books.We also zoom out to where B2B payments is headed: partnering with ISOs instead of trying to replace them, using AI agents to pull invoice metadata from legacy ERPs with limited APIs, and the growing opportunity in cross-border receivables. Thomas shares why stablecoins may reduce correspondent banking friction and why workflows and value-added services are becoming the real business model behind payments.

Artificial intelligence agents are beginning to make their presence felt in online payments. At present, they typically discover options for purchase and present users with buy options. However, many are already looking towards a future where AI agents have wallets and the ability to pay for small items with stablecoins. This could also create the opportunity for machine-to-machine micropayments. Chad Harper, head of the Coinbase Institute, joins Lewis McLellan, head of content at OMFIF's Digital Monetary Institute, to discuss the rails that will facilitate agentic payments, particularly x402, Coinbase's payments protocol.

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, prove what happened, or satisfy audit and compliance requirements at scale. Russell explains Amotivv's three-layer view: persistent AI memory you own, a governed workspace for using any model, and a verification layer (including cryptography and append-only records) that produces tamper-resistant, independently verifiable proof of what AI did, which tools it used, and what policies allowed it.We also dig into practical realities that every fintech team runs into fast: model selection and token costs, why caching and routing matter, and how platform lock-in sneaks in when your vendor effectively owns the memory. On the policy side, we discuss the pace of AI regulation, why the EU AI Act is a useful north star for building “bomb-proof” guardrails, and what it means to be able to prove both usage and non-usage of AI as expectations tighten.If you're building AI for fraud, marketing, customer support, underwriting, or agentic commerce, this is a roadmap for making it trustworthy.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Firas Isa, the founder of Crypto Dispenser, a bootstrapped and profitable company that has been quietly building Bitcoin on-ramp infrastructure since 2017. Firas started with a single Bitcoin ATM, partnered with GreenDot Bank to place cash deposit points across 100,000 retail stores like CVS and Walmart, and has grown to over 100,000 registered users , all without taking a penny of outside investment. In this conversation, we dig into why cash is still the purest way to buy Bitcoin, the brutal reality of getting bank accounts shut down repeatedly, and why Firas believes Bitcoin is the world's most peaceful revolution against currency debasement. If you have ever wondered how to buy Bitcoin without going through a big exchange, or you are a founder trying to understand what it actually takes to survive a decade in the crypto space on a bootstrap budget, this episode is for you. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

In this episode of Cents Chat, Kitty and Jason sit down with Jordan Thaeler, founder of POS+, to talk about one of the biggest tensions in embedded payments: the difference between a preferred payments partner and a payments prison. For years, ISVs have built real revenue streams by integrating payments into their platforms, and when done well, that model can create a better experience for everyone. The trouble starts when “preferred” quietly becomes “mandatory,” pricing drifts out of line, functionality lags, and merchants realize they are not choosing a payments provider so much as being cornered into one.Jordan breaks down how POS+ is pushing back on that model by giving merchants more payment choice without forcing them to rip out the software they already use to run their business. The conversation gets into merchant frustration, ISV monetization, payment flow workarounds, AI-driven adaptability, and why the smartest platforms should stop treating friction like a moat. The takeaway for ISVs is simple: pick a great default payments partner, make the economics fair, keep the experience strong, and give merchants a reasonable path to alternatives. Most merchants will choose the preferred option if it actually earns the business. But nobody likes being trapped.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome to Fraud Forward.I recorded this live from Safeguard's AI Deep Dive Retreat at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, and y'all, let me tell you something: this was not just another room full of AI buzzwords. This was fraud leaders, payment experts, financial institution professionals, fintech voices, marketplace operators, and risk leaders all sitting in the same place asking one very real question.What happens to fraud prevention when artificial intelligence changes everything?The future of AI fraud is not some far-off thing we are all fixin' to deal with later. It is already here. We are seeing AI change the speed, scale, and complexity of fraud operations right now. We are seeing it show up in synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, AI identity verification, agentic AI fraud, fraud detection automation, governance conversations, and the pressure fraud teams are already carrying every single day.But this episode is not about panic.It is about realism.It is about what fraud fighters are seeing, what institutions are building, where the gaps still are, and how we keep humans at the center while fraud keeps accelerating around us.What you'll hear in this episode:A practical conversation about the future of AI fraud and what it means for fraud operationsHow AI fraud prevention is changing across banking, credit unions, fintech, payments, marketplaces, and risk teamsWhy synthetic identity fraud, AI scams, and identity fraud prevention are becoming major areas of concernHow AI in fraud prevention can help investigators analyze data, identify patterns, and reduce noiseWhy AI governance in fraud prevention cannot be treated as something we clean up laterHow agentic AI fraud, know your agent, and KYA fraud prevention are becoming part of the next conversationWhy human-in-the-loop fraud detection still matters, even when fraud analyst AI tools are getting betterHow fraud fighters and AI can work together without replacing the people who know this work bestA reminder that responsible AI risk management has to include governance, empathy, collaboration, and practical controlsWho should listen:Financial institution leaders and fraud professionalsRisk, compliance, and cybersecurity teamsFraud operations teams and investigatorsCredit union and community bank leadersBanking fraud prevention teamsCredit union fraud prevention teamsFintech, payments, and marketplace risk teamsBSA, AML, KYC, and identity teamsRegulators and policy advisorsIndustry advocates and victim support professionalsMedia professionals covering scams, fraud, AI, and financial crimeAnyone trying to understand how AI-driven fraud affects real people, real institutions, and real fraud teamsThis conversation is for the fraud fighters who are not just trying to check a compliance box. It is for the teams trying to protect members, customers, and communities while also figuring out how to use AI-powered fraud prevention without creating new risk.

Health economics is not just about reimbursement. It is about proving how a technology reduces the total cost of care. In this episode, Betty Tsai, President of Cardiology Services International, explains why medtech companies must think beyond existing CPT or MS-DRG codes when shaping their commercialization strategies. Speaking with Saul at the MedTech Innovator event, she highlights how health economics reveals the true cost of a patient journey, from initial admission through readmissions and long-term care. Betty explores how value-based care and CMS performance metrics are reshaping hospital revenue and influencing adoption decisions. She also discusses alternative reimbursement pathways, such as the New Technology Add-on Payment, and emphasizes that companies demonstrating both clinical and economic value are more attractive to providers and investors. Tune in and learn why proving economic value may be one of the most important steps in driving medtech adoption. Resources: Connect with and follow Betty Tsai on LinkedIn.

In today's episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I'm talking about something that can absolutely make or break your hail business: Getting paid. If you're in hail repair, retail PDR, or running a shop, this is one of those lessons you either learn the easy way… or the hard way. I'm breaking down what we call "securing the back" — making sure insurance money is actually secured before the vehicle leaves your shop. We get into: Why you should never release a hail car before payment is secured What a Proof of Payment is and why you need it The insurance companies that create the biggest headaches Why State Farm and USAA can slow things down Direction to pay, power of attorney, repair authorization & transport forms Why scaling a hail operation requires admin systems Personal checks vs cashier's checks (and where we draw the line) Why policies matter more than emotions in business How growth forces better systems in PDR shops The truth is, when hail volume scales up, the old "trust the customer" mentality stops working. Systems matter. Documentation matters. And if you're running a real operation, you better make sure the money is secured before the car rolls out. Whether you're a solo tech looking to get into hail, or already running volume, this episode will save you headaches, stress, and potentially thousands of dollars. Topics Discussed: Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), hail repair business, insurance supplements, proof of payment, State Farm hail claims, USAA hail claims, dent shop systems, PDR business growth, retail hail repair, direction to pay, CCC1 estimating, hail season operations, dent tech business tips, shop processes, scaling a PDR business.
