Is It the End of Card Payments or Are They the Key to Financial Inclusion? | Jeff Parker, CEO at Paymentology

Today we have the honour to speak with Jeff Parker, CEO at Paymentology. He takes us back to the core. We explore what is Purpose, how Paymentology is having direct impact in customers’ lives - even though they are a B2B FinTech. He emphasizes how we need to collaborate more and share ideas as a FinTech community for us to be able to have 10x the impact in 5 years time. Jeff is known as a great leader, so I dig deeper on his leadership style and what we can do as an Industry to make it better for FinTechers.

Paymentology is a card processor, so we explore the controversial question… is it the end of card payments? Or actually are they key for financial inclusion? We discuss how cards will evolve. And Jeff shares with us the key Paymentology capabilities he wishes every FinTech product team knew about, and how Paymentology is reducing complexity and empowering FinTechs and Brands to better serve their customers.
