The Payments Trilogue

A video podcast on European payments

Brussels has its trilogue.
This is the market’s.

Three seasoned payments professionals — a fintech voice, a bank voice and an independent moderator — debate what’s hot in European payments. Light-hearted, in-depth, sometimes controversial.

Their case: banks and fintechs agree on more than Brussels thinks — enough for the market to regulate itself more, and be regulated less.
