Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller

Launching a new firm in the face of this global crisis takes fortitude. Timing couldn’t be worse. Or could it? Demand for different types of digital payments is ramping. That’s the space Qolo (https://qolo.io/) plays in. A bit like Marqeta, a bit like Fiserv, the company was launched by a team with a lot of payments industry experience to be a next-generation B2B payments hub and* *the first all-in-one payments solution.

CEO Patricia Montesi joins us on the podcast to talk about building and launching a payments firm in the midst of the Covid crisis and the challenges and opportunities presented by this time. We drill down into Qolo’s capabilities and she desribes how firms are using its API to bring payments in-house. Qolo is going global from its inception and Particia talks about the need to build cross-border capabilities.

Patricia Montesi is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.
