Innovation starts with a different perspective... At a recent payments conference I found myself riding up an escalator alone, while a large crowd rode up the one next to me. Both escalators were heading to the same place, but my journey was distinctively different. This experience perfectly captures a core value of Stax Payments: Thinking Differently. In the fast-evolving payments space, innovation isn't just about following the well-trodden path—it's about looking at things from a fresh perspective, with new technologies, and finding better, more efficient solutions. This is what sets us apart. These experiences remind and reaffirm the commitment to pushing boundaries and incorporating cutting-edge capabilities into our offerings. By daring to think differently, we don’t just keep up with the industry—we lead it. #Innovation #ThinkDifferently #Payments #Leadership #InnovationInPayments #PushingBoundaries

The fintech sector is undergoing a fascinating shift. While VC funding may be down overall, we're seeing a surge in strategic partnerships and a renewed focus on customer experience. Companies like Innovance Inc. and Qover are leading the way, demonstrating how collaboration can unlock new opportunities and drive innovation. For example, Innovance recently partnered with Salt Edge to scale Open Banking solutions across EMEA. This collaboration allows both companies to leverage their expertise and technology to reach a wider audience and improve service delivery. Similarly, Qover has teamed up with Mastercard to bolster online shopping protections in Belgium and Luxembourg. This alliance highlights the growing importance of strategic partnerships in enhancing product offerings and meeting the needs of customers. These developments suggest a maturing market where collaboration and a customer-centric approach are crucial for success. We can anticipate further consolidation and targeted investments in promising early-stage companies as the industry continues to evolve. #fintech #audiencevc #openbanking #payments #collaboratetoinnovate

💡 Fintech QBRs: A Missed Opportunity or a Growth Catalyst? I recently spoke with a CS leader in Fintech who shared a major challenge: 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐐𝐁𝐑𝐬 In a sector where needs evolve faster than markets and compliance can feel like a moving target, some customers disengage entirely. Without their buy-in, opportunities to improve, expand, or deepen relationships vanish. So, how do you break through? Tailor QBRs to their world. Whether it’s tackling regulatory hurdles, driving adoption, or delivering cost efficiencies, every touchpoint should speak to their unique pain points and goals. Real-world success stories grounded in Fintech realities work wonders. And here’s the kicker: Stop making QBRs a one-sided presentation. Collaborate. Involve decision-makers early, focus on co-creating solutions, and watch engagement—and impact—soar. What’s your secret to making QBRs resonate in Fintech? Let’s hear it below! #Fintech #CustomerSuccess #QBR #CustomerEngagement #BusinessGrowth #SaaS #CustomerBuyIn #FintechGrowth #CustomerRetention
