  Beyond the Hype: Bringing Crypto & Stablecoins Into Everyday Payments with B4U Financial

  Oct 1, 202624 min

  On the Southeast Acquirers Association Podcast, host Bill Glass sits down with B4U Financial CEO Jack Williams and CRO Matt Price to discuss how cryptocurrency and stablecoins are evolving from investment assets into practical, everyday payment methods. The conversation explores B4U Financial's approach to making digital-currency payments simple for merchants and consumers, including digital wallets, QR-code checkout, stablecoins, transaction speeds, network fees, KYC, and networks such as Ethereum, Solana, and the Lightning Network. Bill, Jack, and Matt also discuss one of the biggest hurdles facing digital-currency payments: merchant adoption and consumer awareness. Even consumers who hold digital assets may not realize where or how they can spend them. Overall, the episode examines how companies like B4U Financial are working to bridge traditional payment processing with digital currency, giving merchants another way to accept payments while potentially reaching new customers and generating incremental transaction volume.

  One Platform, More Possibilities: The GETTRX Story

  Sep 23, 202633 min

  In this episode of the Southeast Acquirers Association Podcast, Bill Glass sits down with Scott Bryson and Roberto Sato of GETTRX for a conversation about the evolution of the payments industry, technology, and what the future looks like for agents, ISVs, and merchants. Scott and Roberto share their very different paths into payments, from growing up in a payments family and knocking doors at 19 years old to moving from Peru to the U.S. with a computer science background and ultimately helping build the technology that powers GETTRX today. The conversation dives into GETTRX One , their approach to bringing multiple payment capabilities together under a single platform, and why simplifying the experience for agents and merchants has become increasingly important. They also discuss building technology around real customer problems, supporting both traditional and higher-risk verticals, and creating more flexibility through multiple banking and processing relationships. Bill, Scott, and Roberto also look ahead at where payments are heading, including embedded financial services, lending, faster funding, ISV growth, banking-as-a-service, AI's impact on software development, and the growing expectation that merchants can access more of their financial tools from one place. It's a wide-ranging conversation about payments, technology, sales, and how companies can continue evolving without losing sight of the people they serve.

  Beyond the Swipe: Turning Payments Into Customer Loyalty

  Sep 2, 202627 min

  In this episode of the SEAA Podcast, Bill Glass sits down with Brian Booth from Enroll & Pay to explore why the future of payments is about far more than rates and terminals. Brian shares his journey from performance-based marketing into payments technology and explains how Enroll & Pay has evolved into an embedded loyalty and data platform that operates directly within the payment flow. The conversation dives into one of the industry's biggest challenges, merchant attrition, and how value-added services like frictionless, card-linked loyalty can create stickier merchant relationships while helping businesses better understand their customers. They discuss how Enroll & Pay uses transaction data to identify customer behavior, increase visit frequency and spending, and deliver measurable ROI to merchants all without requiring customers to download an app, scan a QR code, or repeatedly enter a phone number. Bill and Brian also explore the growing role of AI in data analytics, marketing, and operational efficiency, as well as how ISOs can use loyalty technology not just as an additional revenue stream, but as a powerful tool for reducing churn and strengthening their merchant portfolios.
