Ep. 62 - LIVE from FTT Payments with Payrails: The Payments Execution Layer - Why Infrastructure Is Replacing Platforms
Recorded live on stage at FTT Embedded Finance & Super Apps, Grant Evans is joined by guest co-host Dwayne Gefferie for a live conversation with Ed Moore, CRO at Payrails, exploring why the next generation of payments infrastructure is moving beyond traditional platforms and orchestration.
Ed explains the growing importance of the “payments execution layer”, and why merchants are increasingly demanding modular, open-stack infrastructure that gives them greater control over routing, optimisation, tokenisation, and the broader payments experience. The discussion dives into how orchestration is evolving, why merchants are pushing back against all-in-one providers, and what modern enterprise payments architecture increasingly looks like.
They also explore where AI is genuinely delivering value in payments today, from smarter routing to automated chargeback management, and how product-led infrastructure models are beginning to reshape how enterprise payment technology is bought, implemented, and consumed.
Plus, Ed steps up for The Payments Shed’s legendary Shelf of Shame — calling out one thing in payments he’d happily banish forever.
