Now that Apple has plans to open up the NFC chip and Secure Element to third party developers, we’re scratching our heads. Who benefits from this newfound NFC access?

Episode 247 – From the Vault: Multiplayer Fintech Builds a Winning B2B Service – Robin Gandhi, TripActions (Episode 146)
It’s September 2024, and this month, we’re focusing on business-to-business payments. B2B payments are difficult because so much information must be exchanged for them to process efficiently. But there’s more to it than that.
For this episode, we pulled a favorite from our vault – number 146, a discussion between George Peabody and Robin Gandhi. Since this aired in March of 2021, Robin has moved to a post as Chief Product Officer at Nium, and TripActions has rebranded to Navan. But the underlying ideas discussed regarding B2B are still important – and this idea of multi-player fintech and what it means for B2B payments is quite relevant.
