Treasury has come a long way—from Radio Shack timers and batch files to APIs, cloud-native platforms, and now AI. In this episode of Fintech Corner, Trovata’s Founder and CEO Brett Turner sits down with Craig Jeffery, Managing Partner at Strategic Treasurer, to discuss how technology, data, and innovations like stablecoin are reshaping corporate treasury.

Craig shares insights from decades advising both corporates and banks, unpacking how the industry has evolved from legacy systems to real-time data flows. They discuss what’s driving faster adoption cycles, how banks are bridging mainframe systems with APIs, and why AI is becoming the next major inflection point in treasury. From stablecoin use cases to the readiness of treasury tech stacks, Brett and Craig explore what the next wave of transformation will look like—and how treasurers can stay ahead of it.
