Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller.

One of the major trends we’ve seen over the past couple of years is the credit cards firms moving into push payments. Being able to push money out to a debit card influences the types of fintech applications currently being built and further cements firms like Visa in the fintech ecosystem.

Bill Sheley, the head of Visa Direct, joins us on the podcast today to talk about his role and the importance of Visa Direct for the firm and its customers. We discuss the growing pervasiveness of faster payments and the work Visa has done with cash flow tools for small businesses. Bill describes his plans for expanding Visa Direct’s capabilities around the world.
