LendAPI Partner Podcast with Jackie (MOOV) on Instant Payments and the art of follow-up
<p>In this episode, host Timothy Li (CEO, LendAPI) catches up with Jackie of MOOV — a single-API payment processor connected directly to the Fed, Visa, and Mastercard — live from FinTech DevCon in Denver, a developer-only conference with no sales pitches allowed.</p><p></p><p>Jackie walks through what MOOV actually does (moving money across cards, ACH, and instant payment rails through one integration, without ever rebranding a client's checkout experience), why instant payments are becoming the default expectation rather than a nice-to-have, and how her own path from Amex's retention desk to commercial real estate to SaaS eventually led her back to the payments industry her father spent 40 years in.</p><p></p><p><b>What You'll Learn:</b></p><ul><li>How MOOV's single-API model lets businesses start with card acceptance and add instant payments later without a re-implementation</li><li>Why instant, real-time payment rails (FedNow, push-to-debit) are becoming the expectation, not the exception</li><li>MOOV's philosophy of staying invisible infrastructure — letting businesses own their brand and payment experience rather than putting MOOV's name on the checkout</li><li>What FinTech DevCon looks like when engineers, not salespeople, staff the booths — and why that changes the kind of conversations that happen</li><li>Jackie's reframe for handling sales rejection: hearing "no" as "not right now," and how that mindset shift is teachable</li><li>Why she prioritizes in-person relationships and dinners over calls and texts, and the deliberate way she uses group meals to let partners sell each other</li><li>How 15 years of coaching youth basketball and mentoring young women in tech shaped her approach to building trust with clients and colleagues</li></ul><p></p><p><b>About MOOV</b><br />MOOV is a single-API payment processor with direct connections to the Federal Reserve, Visa, and Mastercard, built to make it simple for businesses of any size to accept payments and move money — from card acceptance to real-time and instant payments — without switching providers as their needs grow. MOOV hosts FinTech DevCon, an annual developer-focused fintech conference held in Denver, Colorado.</p><p>Learn more: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://moov.io" target="_blank">https://moov.io</a><br /></p><p>Explore the LendAPI Marketplace: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lendapi.com/marketplace" target="_blank">https://www.lendapi.com/marketplace</a></p><p>Listen on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@LendAPI" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/418TaS9d2SjwahCNtJUNwt" target="_blank">Spotify</a> & <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lendapi-podcast/id1784824562" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></p>

LendAPI Partner Podcast with Simon Darchis (FinWise Bank) on What Makes a Bank Say Yes to a Fintech
<p>In this episode, host Timothy Li (CEO, LendAPI) talks with Simon of FinWise Bank Corp about what actually happens behind the scenes of a bank-fintech sponsorship — why some fintechs get onboarded and others get turned away, why high-interest short-term loans aren't always the villain they're made out to be, and why so many Buy Now, Pay Later companies are racing to get their own bank charters right now.</p><p>Simon's path runs from Paris to McGill University to Cross River Bank to FinWise, where he's spent nearly a decade building out the bank's fintech sponsorship and payments infrastructure. He and Tim get into the real economics of subprime lending, what a "dream" fintech partner looks like from a bank's perspective, and why owning your own charter isn't the shortcut some fintechs think it is.</p><p></p><h2>What You'll Learn:</h2><ul><li>Why high-interest short-term loans, while expensive, can be genuinely life-changing for subprime borrowers — and why overdraft fees are often the worse alternative</li><li>What FinWise actually evaluates before onboarding a fintech: product design, compliance depth, founding team, and access to capital</li><li>Why some sponsor banks onboard 30+ fintechs a year while others do fewer than 10 — and why "fintech as a gold mine" thinking burned banks in 2020-2021</li><li>How FinWise built "Money Rails," an API-based payment hub with full sub-ledger tracking, after watching banks get burned by not owning their ledger of record</li><li>Why the credit and debit card markets are largely saturated, and where the real innovation opportunity still exists (credit-building products, early wage access)</li><li>Why BNPL companies are rushing to apply for their own bank charters now — and why Simon thinks most of them are building for today's lighter regulatory environment, not tomorrow's</li><li>How the "Big Beautiful Bill's" equipment depreciation rules and student lending caps are reshaping commercial and student lending opportunities</li></ul><h2></h2><h2>About FinWise Bank</h2><p>FinWise Bank enables fintechs to bring innovative financial products to market through a comprehensive suite of banking, lending, payments, and card solutions. As a single banking partner for multiple fintech needs, FinWise provides the regulatory, compliance, operational, and program infrastructure that supports deposit, lending, card, and payment programs.

LendAPI Partner Podcast: Trevor Barran (FNCR) on the $1M-to-$30M Gap No One Is Financing
<p>In this episode, host Timothy Li (CEO, LendAPI) talks with Trevor Barran, CEO of FNCR, about the strange, underserved middle of small business lending — too big for a local bank or an online lending platform, too small for a commercial bank's credit desk — and why FNCR built an entire company to close that gap.</p><p></p><p>Trevor's path runs from building American Express's early small business credit line models, to studying complex adaptive systems and AI at the Santa Fe Institute in the early 2000s, to living through the 2008 financial crisis as regulation reshaped small business lending in ways no one fully anticipated. He and Tim trace how that regulatory shift commoditized small-dollar lending, created the opening for data-driven platforms like OnDeck, Kabbage, and Lending Club, and left a $1M-to-$30M financing gap that neither banks nor fintech lenders have solved.</p><p></p><p><b>What You'll Learn:</b></p><ul><li>How 2008-era regulation (personal guarantees, delinquency timelines, capital reserve rules) accidentally commoditized small business lending and pushed banks out of it</li><li>Why data-driven lending platforms work well under roughly $250K-$500K, but struggle to underwrite profitably above that</li><li>How Trevor's team built a market for monetizing pending government credits (like the Employee Retention Credit) during COVID — buying receivables at 85 cents on the dollar so businesses could get cash immediately instead of waiting on the IRS</li><li>Why the same logic now applies to the tariff refund wave, after tariffs were ruled unconstitutional</li><li>How FNCR connects roughly 2,000 bank and non-bank lenders to the small and medium enterprise market through "programs" — tightly defined lending needs matched to specific capital providers, currently focused on real estate and healthcare</li><li>Why FNCR never cold-calls or cold-emails a business — every introduction comes through an existing partner relationship (PEOs, GPOs, large suppliers) with tens of thousands of SME relationships already in place</li><li>What's next for FNCR: e-commerce businesses and the AI-driven creator economy</li></ul><p></p><p><b>About FNCR</b><br />FNCR ("financier") is a lending marketplace built to serve small and medium enterprises seeking $1 million to $30 million in financing — a segment too large for most banks and online lenders, and too small for commercial banking desks. Led by CEO Trevor Barran, FNCR partners with large businesses that already hold tens of thousands of SME relationships (suppliers, PEOs, GPOs) to match qualifying businesses with the right lender from its network of roughly 2,000 bank and non-bank capital providers, with no unsolicited outreach to borrowers.</p><p>Learn more: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.fncr.com" target="_blank">https://www.fncr.com</a><br /></p><p>Explore the LendAPI Marketplace: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lendapi.com/marketplace" target="_blank">https://www.lendapi.com/marketplace</a></p><p>Listen on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@LendAPI" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/418TaS9d2SjwahCNtJUNwt" target="_blank">Spotify</a> & <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lendapi-podcast/id1784824562" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a></p>
