Exclusive Interviews Feature Rene Lacerte, Chris Byrd and Steve
Kirsch
The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK), today announces the release of
its next Finetics™ Studio interview series: “Innovation in B2B and
Blockchain” featuring Rene Lacerte, CEO and Founder, Bill.com;
Chris Byrd, Executive Vice President–Healthcare Operations Officer,
Evolution1; and Steve Kirsch, CEO, Token.
Filmed from the Money20/20 show floor, the exclusive interviews
cover innovations in business-to-business (B2B) payments and the
increasing focus on blockchain technology.
“Over 21 billion checks a year are written in the U.S. and 19
billion involve businesses,” said Lacerte. “The cost of making just
one of those transactions using the current system is over $65. And
65 times 19 billion is over $1 trillion dollars of inefficiency
problems in this country - $1 trillion dollars that businesses
could actually use to do something better with their time.”
Payments innovation in the healthcare industry was also a point
of discussion in the Studio with Byrd, who added, “There’s so much
innovation, excitement and energy in industry right now but…the
changes we are making are really simplifying the experience for
health plans and benefit plan administrators, making it easier for
employers. Most importantly, we are making it more convenient for
consumers—and happy consumers and employees make happy
employers.”
Executives also provided entrepreneurial advice, including
Kirsch, who shared that one of the keys to his success in building
Token was, “learning to explain the complicated paradigms involved
in the payments industry in a way people could understand.”
The release of these videos supports The Bancorp’s Finetics™
Studio video series, which features exclusive, one-on-one
conversations with more than 30 of the financial services
industry’s most influential and innovative executives, launched
late last year.
The interviews, conducted by Sarah Gill, senior reporter with
PaymentEye, cover topics ranging from the future of payments
innovation to regulation and fraud and will be released on The
Bancorp’s fineticsblog.com throughout early 2016.
