Episode 92 – Fintech Leaders Talk Payments – Fintech South Atlanta 2019

POF Podcast

Payments on Fire® usually focuses on a single topic, typically a fintech company and the business or personal challenges it addresses. In this episode, we take another direction by bringing together three fintech leaders to talk about their company offerings, how they connect up to payments, and some of the obstacles they’ve faced.

George talks with the leadership of three companies working in very different areas: remittances, small business logistics payments, and healthcare.

  • Mike Gaburo, CEO of Brightwell Payments, a company delivering a mobile payments app to global workers for their payroll distribution, enabling card-based purchasing as well as remittance services
  • Robin Gregg, CEO of RoadSync, a business software provider that enables electronic payments to SMBs in the logistics sector; and
  • Alan Nalle Chief Strategy Officer of Patientco, a payments platform with intuitive, mobile-friendly tools for Health Systems to enable patients to pay their healthcare bills.

This conversation illustrates the breadth of payments and the focus required to solve the specific payments needs of each industry segment.

Robin, Mike, and Alan will join Glenbrook partner Beth Horowitz Steel on her panel called Innovative Solutions – Solving Difficult Payment Needs at the Fintech South conference, held April 22 and 23 in Atlanta.
