On episode 46 I talk with Aditya Rathod of The Canny Co.
The Canny Co ecosystem makes it easy for businesses and customers to save time and money. Their modular platform enables Fintechs to easily embed one or more of Canny’s products.
Embedded finance has quickly become one of the hottest areas in fintech, helping to provide seamless and simple products connecting banks, fintechs, and non-financial brands.
Aditya and I talked about how Canny works with their different clients and partners, where they fit within the technology stack, some of the biggest pain points in cross-border payments, and whether or not payments are becoming cheaper and fairer, the potential impact of web3 and much, much, more.
