FEATURING: Mike Cook, Global Payments Leader at IBM
Before the rise of PayPal, Venmo, and dozens of other new payment solutions, banks didn’t look at the payments function as an epicenter for innovation. Times have changed.
Digitization of front, middle, and back office processes, plus an explosion of fintech experimentation around the world, have turned the payments function into a competitive weapon rather than a cost center. In parallel, the rise of contextual or embedded finance mean that payments innovation is changing the operating models for banks and the industries they serve.
Our guest is Mike Cook, global payments leader at IBM. We discuss how the center of transformation in banking is focused on payments and how legacy financial institutions can keep pace with a new generation of providers.
