In this episode of FinFactor, Blaine Bertsch welcomes Adam Katz for an in-depth conversation about the rapidly changing world of foreign exchange (FX), B2B payments, and the fintech revolution. CFOs today face mounting challenges in payment processing, including hidden FX fees, transaction inefficiencies, complex compliance demands, and the pressure to adopt modern financial technology that keeps pace with global business needs. Adam explains how artificial intelligence in finance, automation, and innovative payment solutions are reshaping the financial ecosystem, giving finance leaders greater control, transparency, and efficiency.
The discussion explores how trusted FX partnerships and smarter data management are essential for global transactions, while also highlighting the promise of blockchain, stablecoins, and crypto in shaping the next era of digital payments. They also cover the rise of virtual banking, fintech innovation, and the critical tools that small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage to compete globally. With insights into algorithmic trading, quantitative analysis, AI-driven trading bots, and automated financial modeling, Adam and Blaine reveal how the convergence of payments, AI, and fintech is redefining the role of the CFO in driving growth and resilience.
