   Agentic Commerce: What’s Real and What’s Still a Demo – Sam Boboev, Fintech Wrap Up

   In this episode of the Leaders in Payments and Fintech podcast, host Beatrice Sava sits down with Sam Boboev, founder of Fintech Wrap Up, to cut through the hype around agentic commerce and get honest about where the technology actually stands. Sam draws on his background in product management and his ongoing work covering fintech and payments to separate what’s genuinely working from what’s still a demo. Sam argues that the real bottleneck isn’t agent capability — it’s everything around it. Inconsistent data, unclear liability, and infrastructure built for humans rather than machines are the core friction points. The verticals best positioned to move first are those where decisions are already structured — particularly B2B payments, where policy constraints actually make it easier for agents to act reliably. In this episode: What’s actually working in agentic commerce today — and what’s still a demo Why B2B payments are best positioned for agent-led transactions first The infrastructure and fraud systems that need to adapt for delegated payments Why liability for agent errors remains the biggest unsolved question Why translating human intent into agent instructions is the core unsolved challenge Which verticals — travel, e-commerce, digital goods — are most primed for early adoption Resources: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/sirojboboev Website: https://www.fintechwrapup.com Podcast: https://www.fintechwrapup.com/podcast

   Turning FX into a Competitive Advantage – Antonio Rami, Kantox

   In this episode of the Leaders in Payments and Fintech podcast, host Greg Toussaint sits down with Antonio “Toni” Rami, co-founder of Kantox, to unpack why FX remains one of the most overlooked financial risks in global business — and what companies can do about it. Toni shares how Kantox grew from a two-person startup to nearly 300 people by helping corporates automate their FX processes, and why the travel industry, with its inherently cross-border nature, is both especially exposed and especially well-positioned to benefit. With awareness still the biggest barrier, Toni argues that the cost of inaction is far higher than most CFOs realize. He walks through how a coordinated, cross-functional approach to FX can drive direct bookings, reduce acquiring costs, improve cash flow, and even protect company valuation in an M&A process. The companies that treat FX as a strategic lever, not a back-office nuisance, are the ones pulling ahead. In this episode: Why FX consistently ranks as a top-three financial risk — yet still gets managed in Excel How multi-currency pricing helped Iberostar shift bookings from indirect to direct channels Why solving FX in one silo creates downstream problems for commercial and accounting teams How to use the pricing rate vs. conversion rate gap to uncover hidden FX leakage Where travel distribution and IATA settlement create unexpected margin risk How neobanks and VCC issuers are embedding FX as a differentiated service Why poor FX management can directly reduce your company’s valuation at exit Resources: LinkedIn: https://sg.linkedin.com/in/antoniorami Website: https://www.kantox.com/

   S04 E03: Nilus - Rethinking Cash Management with AI – Daniel Kalish, Nilus

   Davide Villa, Manager at EDC, sits down with Daniel Kalish, CEO and Co-Founder at Nilus, to discuss the evolution of treasury management, and the role that AI can play in innovating in the space. In this episode of the Leaders in Payments and Fintech podcast, host Davide sits down with Daniel Kalish, co-founder and CEO of Nilus and former PayPal veteran, to explore how AI is reshaping corporate treasury management. Daniel shares why he founded Nilus after seeing firsthand how finance teams were struggling to manage cash across complex, global operations — and how agentic AI is finally replacing the side Excel files that have long driven treasury decisions. With CFO expectations shifting fast and stablecoins beginning to enter the corporate treasury conversation, Daniel makes the case that the window to modernise is now — and that the companies who move early will have a significant edge. He also offers candid advice for fintech founders on what it truly means to build AI-native, both in product and in culture. In this episode: How Nilus goes beyond data visibility to enable real treasury decision-making Why legacy TMS systems fall short and Excel still dominates forecasting Where AI agents are creating value: cash positioning, FX hedging, forecasting, and payments Why real-time bank data matters less to treasury than you might think How stablecoins are starting to change internal money movement between entities Why CFOs now expect AI-native platforms — and how quickly that shift happened What it takes to build successfully in an AI-native environment Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-kalish-74194768 Website: https://www.nilus.com
