Fintech Confidential Diamond D3, Media

Joe Keeley is the CEO & Co-Founder of the embedded Fintech company Justifi.ai . He shares how went from being a hockey-playing nanny to leading a fintech orchestration platform that helps software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms add value and accelerate potential revenue streams.
According to Joe, the fintech market is enormous and diverse, with thousands of vertical SaaS platforms, and there can be thousands of winners because there are many different ways to slice and dice the market.
Joe Keeley's entrepreneurial journey started with founding College Nannies and Sitters and Tutors, a large in-home childcare and tutoring company, before moving into Fintech. Justifi simplifies the complex and fragmented Fintech industry for SaaS platforms by providing a payment and fintech orchestration platform and an engaged fintech team. SaaS platforms often lack expertise in fintech, and Justifi fills that gap by providing an extension of their team, including a chief payment officer, to help them execute on fintech solutions.
To successfully monetize FinTech, software companies must start the journey today and look to the future when making integration decisions. They must also focus on the user experience and not just on monetizing funds flow. Justifi believes that by partnering with providers, companies can take full advantage of FinTech while still focusing on their core vertical SaaS platform. Justifi sees exciting opportunities in stored payment values and a focus on the user experience, and they want to help platforms capture more value from their FinTech transactions.
In conclusion, Justifi's unique approach to helping vertical SaaS platforms add value to their company is worth exploring. Joe Keeley's experience transitioning from a different company to a fintech company provides valuable insights. Don't make the mistake of waiting to begin monetizing with FinTech or trying to build everything yourself. Instead, contact Justifi.ai to understand your business and build a strategic FinTech map. Remember, there's a tailwind behind you, and Justifi can help accelerate your potential for success.
Things that we dive into on in this episode . 👨‍💼 From hockey-playing nanny to CEO and Co-Founder of Justifi, Joe Keeley knows what it takes to become a successful FinTech company. Justifi helps vertical SaaS platforms add value and accelerate potential revenue streams with their payment and FinTech orchestration platform and engaged FinTech team.
🌐 The fintech market is enormous and diverse, with thousands of vertical SaaS platforms, but there can be thousands of winners because there are many different ways to slice and dice the market.
💳 Payments are the most commonly sold and purchased FinTech product, but Justifi believes that vertical SaaS platforms should keep the lion's share of the value of funds flow within their ecosystem. By monetizing payments based on the payment's cost rather than the transaction's size, SaaS platforms can increase revenue potential.

Join Tedd Huff of Fintech Confidential and Bruce Burke of Bullet Point Bulletins as they discuss the latest developments in the world of fintech and web3 technology on this week's episode of the Weekly Wrap-Up of Bullet Point Bulletins.
The FDIC seized control of Silicon Valley Bank and the future seemed very dismal, but following this episode later that evening the Wall Street Journal said the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve and the made a joint decision to make good on all deposits made. This was basically decided upon to restore the public’s faith in the banking system in the U.S.

Tedd and Bruce discuss the many implications that surrounded the weekend-long banking crisis. The Feds hands seemed tied in this decision. Not stemming this tsunami would have lead to much deeper and long term problems.

Inflation, mistrust, collapses and cryptocurrency are all playing hell with the economy and financial systems. People are beginning to look to alternatives to keep their hard earned money safe. There are many different aspects of the monetary systems and the startup scene in the valley discussed, but ultimately the government had to save it or else the contagion could have had a huge domino effect across the world - from the 16th largest bank in the United States.

Oh and Bruce and Tedd also talk about the mainstream adoption of NFT’s from both Starbucks customers and a forthcoming announcement expected from Amazon this month about a Digital Marketplace. We also discuss how the new Coinbase Wallet-as-a-Service is also bringing customers easily onboard to apps like Floor, and Token Proof.

It seems there is a lot of simplifying of Web3 standards, but at the same time kind of making them a hybrid Web2.5. At least it’s a step in the right direction. Or is it? Will the interoperability of Web3 ever be realized, it seems each new project has a proprietary blockchain, token or wallet technology of its own.

Will the Web3 ideals be discarded and replaced by Web2 standards - or will the utopian ideals be upheld by the devout and the Web2.5 projects shunned by the true believers in the real Web3?
