#386: Chris Tsai of Resolve


Listen Later

Consumer BNPL has become an entrenched part of the modern payments flow for a large number of companies. But the payments flow in the business-to-business space still looks similar to the way it did a decade ago. I think that is about to change.

Our next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Chris Tsai, the CEO and Co-founder of Resolve.  He has thought deeply about buyer flows in b2b commerce and has created a complete system to manage the process. As he describes in this episode it is not really about BNPL, although that is a piece of what they do, it is about growing transactions into relationships.

In this podcast you will learn:

  • How Max Levchin and Affirm was instrumental in the founding of Resolve.
  • What the early days of Resolve were like.
  • The four steps in the buying process that coincides with Resolve’s core products.
  • How they perform credit checks on behalf of their clients.
  • How BNPL for business is different to consumer.
  • A profile of the typical Resolve customer.
  • Why they often like to talk of themselves as an embedded payments platform.
  • Details of their underwriting process.
  • The interplay between credit insights and relationship insights.
  • How their business model works.
  • How Resolve customers immediately benefit once they are onboarded.
  • Why they offer credit card processing as part of the interface.
  • How they interface with the popular accounting software platforms.
  • The scale they are at today.
  • Chris’s vision for Resolve.
