Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Tearsheet’s editor in chief, Zack Miller.

Embedded finance is a recurring theme in our coverage on Tearsheet on here, on the podcast. With APIs and banking as a service platforms, firms in all kinds of industries are getting into finance. That’s the story line here. TripActions is an innovate business travel & expense platform that continues to evolve to serve its customers. That meant launching its own travel agency. And it also meant launching Liquid (https://tripactions.com/uk/liquid), TripActions’ own payments solution that ties employee spending in to its software and includes corporate cards. Michael Sindicich is the general manager of TripActions Liquid and was one of the first employees in the company. Michael joins me on the podcast to discuss the firm’s growth trajectory and how that impacted why the firm launched a payment solution. We also discuss the uptake of TripActions Liquid and where the firm is headed in the future with its fintech aspirations.

Michale Sindicich is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
