For consumers, making a purchase is simple, but behind the scenes, payment processing depends on a complex system of operations between banks and merchants. There must be a methodical, traceable trail connecting transactions to card issuers, consumer bank accounts and businesses. In order to juggle the task of processing and recording billions of d…

Constant innovation in the tech industry opens up countless opportunities to ease strain on businesses and their customers, but it can also leave consumers, providers, and legislators struggling to keep up with the field’s evolution. Regulation changes, escalating growth and acquisitions, and introducing additional compliance efforts are just a few…

Whether we’re buying something online or in-store, the number of payment options we now have at our disposal is enormous. With credit cards and debit cards in both our physical and digital wallets, we no longer need to rely solely on cash or check, and we can even complete transactions with our smartphones or watches. No matter the purchase, we now…

Manual processes create room for error. For consumers, traditional methods of payment processing can be hard to organize and keep track of. As more industries go paperless, automated digital payment methods create an opportunity to streamline both payments and communication, offering convenience and simplicity for all parties involved. In this epis…

Buying a car is one of the largest purchases a consumer will make in their lifetime. And while it can be an exciting process, it can also be stressful. Because, traditionally, financing a new automobile has never been a quick and easy process – requiring long applications and complicated repayment methods. And these processes aren’t just a source o…

In our first season, we learned how realtime digital payments allowed big enterprises to more accurately (and more efficiently) monitor their cashflows, ensuring suppliers, vendors and partners were paid on time. However, this technology doesn’t just present benefits for B2B relationships. In fact, realtime transactions also provide a convenient so…

Our cars are advancing at an exponential rate, making our journeys faster and safer than ever before. However, for the auto dealership industry, the same can't be said for its payments infrastructure. Many dealership groups still find themselves relying on checks and credit cards to settle accounts, and an even smaller fraction take advantage of AC…

There's a fine choreography to keeping a modern business running smoothly. And as organizations have become more complex, innovations, such as ERP, have risen to the challenge to ensure that businesses can operate day in, day out without a hitch. But while ERPs give business owners peace of mind that all arms of their operations are communicating f…

Standardization is the key to smooth sailing when it comes to payments. Because when all your suppliers, partners, and customers play by the same rules, you don't need to worry about incompatibilities in your finances interrupting your workflow. But, for the media sector, consensus on payment methods is still far from a reality. And for political a…

Hospitals operate in an intricate and delicate financial ecosystem. And while some industries might be able to tolerate small delays in payments - for a hospital, it could mean life or death. Yet, many healthcare providers still function on legacy payment infrastructure, with little to no digital integration in their B2B payment systems. For many h…

Society is embracing the benefits of real-time electronic payments, but in the world of B2B AR and AP, digital money transfers are still a rarity.

Introducing Forces in Fintech, launching November 2022.By REPAY

Sometimes... those golden handcuffs that many wear around their wrists are simply there to cut off circulation. Job, roommate, city living... In Dust, I put together experiences and thoughts into a fictional tale of getting away from the BS that is working in menial tasks, with people who just don't give a crap about anything. Escape while you bloo…

Isn't it odd that in our current social-politico-racial climate that we put ourselves and others into boxes? Have you ever wondered where that thought came from? While certainly these things have BEEN forever, but the extremes of these things really ramped up with the ideas of marketing for power. And thanks to social media turning every little thi…

Before you can even set foot into purchasing a crap load of information on how to be successful, you need to assess what that means to YOU. And the first step should always be...

When we compare our lives to someone else or if we compare another person to someone else, we miss out on a lot of things.

Don't you get sick and tired of people of who don't have what you have doing things? Getting somewhere? Making an impact? I thought so. Me too!

Yeah... I'm one of those voters. I'm the one who is said to have a vote that either doesn't count or goes against the guy who needs to win. I am the guy who wants freedom, above every other piece of candy coming out of a White (House) Van. One of those people who realizes that voting locally is more important than voting for the president, though r…

My life, in many ways, can be summarized by the statement "Get out and hang!" When was the last time, you felt a need to follow serendipity? What were the results?

The idea of practicing making things perfect us incorrect. According Dr. Don Sheffield, Ed.D. the key to excellence is understanding how people (children) learn, in order to get a true measure of how a child performs. That knowledge can change the course of a child's success.

Dog person? Cat person? It doesn't really matter, I guess. Y'know pets similar to people can become part of the family. Dogs seem to have a knack for becoming one of the biggest concerns during the day. My dog Madison eats better than we do, and probably gets more regular exercise... and lovin'! Lots and lots of that. And to think, she was consider…

Inspired by my daughter. Whatmakes you confident?

Fasting from highly addictive good stuff is dumb, but from bad stuff - good, right? Duh. We are more than the boxes we associate with.

So I think I succeeded at not complaining... I guess. Today's challenge - not being judgemental.
