Super proud to bring this to market with the Navan Partnership team.

SMBs are under served with finance and tech solutions. We’re partnering with @rhobusiness to change that, and bring consolidated solutions to those businesses.

Connected cards, banking, travel and expense!

[Rho @rhobusiness]

NEW from Rho: We're partnering with @Navan to help finance teams fix one of their most frustrating pain points!

Managing travel and expense (T&E).

Finance teams manage a LOT in a single day, but today’s finance stack is expensive and kills more time than it claims to save.

This isn’t the right way to do it.

This is why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Navan. Here’s how it came to be and what it means for you.

Executives of Amex GBT had an investor call Monday shortly after it announced plans to acquire CWT for $570 million.

Excited to teach Payments 101 this morning to a bunch of new industry people who have no idea what direct/indirect to banks even mean. #mrcvegas #veryspecificbaasjokes

You think this Insta influencer realizes FCRA was passed 54 years ago?

(Also this isn’t what FCRA does but 🙄)

@mikulaja Just get a bunch of payment nerds in a room, a copy writer and an editor, and a deep and thoughtful analysis could be done and shared in like 2 days.

🚨SCOOP:

BaaS platform Treasury Prime has laid off a substantial share of its team - about HALF the company likely impacted.

With regulators' focus on banks' due dil, onboarding & TPRM, TP will shift to focus on selling software to banks and cease sales efforts to fintechs.

[Tim Russo @TdotRusso]

@mikulaja @sytaylor Posit: The lack of confidence this will create could be a contagion on its own. If any of these players are issuing cards/program managing then you have partners, cardholders, and merchants (either accepting or placing on file) that will be less motivated to to buy, use, accept.

[Tim Russo @TdotRusso]

Props to FT and their meetings approach. I have 21 scheduled meetings over two days, 15 minutes and highly curated.

Please replicate other conferences so I don’t feel bad ignoring a hardworking BDR/SDRs email outreach to schedule meetings for their boss.
