POF Podcast

Each month, Justin Pituch recaps the news that got Glenbrook talking in his Payments Post.

In this Fanning the Flames episode, Justin and Yvette Bohanan discuss these developments, as well as Justin’s recent Payments Views posts on the pain of B2B and how ISO 20022 could help solve B2B data challenges.
