In this episode of ETMA Tech Talk, host Joe Basili sits down with Kevin Reilly from Corpay, a global provider of business payments and expense management solutions. Learn why automation, virtual cards, and smarter cross-border payment strategies are transforming how enterprises manage vendor relationships, cash flow and the essential role secure payments play in large enterprises. Join us as we explore the innovative use of virtual cards as the safest payment method globally and uncover the sophisticated tactics fraudsters use, including AI and deep fakes. We highlight the critical intersection of trust and money and forecast an accelerated era of product development and innovation in the next two years.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of corporate payments, trust stands as a fundamental pillar. Our discussion on the Corpay Podcast delves deeply into the intersection of trust and technology, emphasizing how virtual cards are emerging as the most secure method of payment globally. With security concerns growing as fraudsters employ AI and deep fakes, maintaining trust has never been more critical.

For corporate leaders, particularly those guiding finance and procurement operations, understanding these dynamics becomes essential. Engaging with platforms like virtual cards enhances security, builds confidence among stakeholders, and provides a new revenue stream. This can help shift accounts payable from a cost center to a profit center.

The Role of AI: Friend or Foe?

Artificial Intelligence is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's propelling innovation at an unprecedented pace, promising a decade’s worth of product development in just 24 months. On the other, it's a tool for fraudsters aiming to disrupt financial systems. This duality poses a significant challenge for CIOs, CISOs, and other tech-focused leaders.

In our discussion, we explore how organizations can harness AI for good, developing systems that are not just reactive but proactive in combating threats. The conversation provides insights into safeguarding one’s enterprise against the misuse of technology, while simultaneously leveraging it for growth and efficiency.

Tune in to learn how tough times shape resilient leaders capable of navigating these complex challenges.

You’ll discover:

• The hidden inefficiencies in corporate payment systems — and how to fix them.
• How automation and visibility reduce risk while freeing up working capital.

If you manage technology, finance, or operations, this episode offers practical insight into how enterprise payments can become a competitive advantage rather than an afterthought.
