Almost 200 hours go into preparing a round if it's done by hand: picking funds, finding people on investment teams, writing emails and follow-ups. We take that work on, and you're left with the investor calls. Book a 30-minute call and we'll show you which of those hours we'd take off your plate. https://lnkd.in/etUfYryG

One of the most important things to understand about AI agent performance is how errors compound. An agent reaches a decision through a chain of tasks. An error early in that chain can affect everything that follows. For an alert review agent, the series of steps could look like: ➡️ Data ingestion - capturing all the inputs needed to make a decision ➡️ Data normalization - parsing what each piece of data actually means, what is a “name” vs an “address” ➡️ Evidence gathering - retrieving the information needed to evaluate the case ➡️ Comparison - evaluating the normalized data against the relevant criteria ➡️ Decisioning - using comparison output to reach a disposition aligned with the organization’s risk tolerance Every step must be correct. In this five-step process, even if each step is 95% accurate, the probability of reaching the correct final disposition is about 77%. To assess whether an agent will perform reliably in production, teams need to know: - How it performs across a representative sample of alerts - The well each step performs and where failures occur - How the steps affect one another - Whether QA and escalation controls catch those errors before the decision is finalized This is what makes AI agents tricky to monitor in production. Strong pre-deployment results do not guarantee that performance will remain consistent over time. We go deeper into this in our new guide, including five places where model risk can enter the workflow. I’ll share the link in the comments.

This week some insight on a key question... if companies have an expense policy, why is Finance still chasing spend? Some reasons include: ⚠️ Missing receipts; ⚠️ Late submissions; ⚠️ Policy exceptions; ⚠️ Approvals that should not of been approved. Individually, these can seem like relatively minor issues. BUT together, they create an Expense Compliance Gap — making spend harder to control, review and defend. ExpenseIn's latest report uses anonymised ExpenseIn data to uncover where expense controls start to break down and, importantly, what Finance teams can do about it. If Finance is still spending too much time chasing, checking and correcting expenses, this is well worth a read 👓 📊 The Expense Compliance Gap: Why Finance Still Ends Up Chasing Spend The report highlights: ⁉️ Why compliance problems are often process gaps, not policy gaps ⁉️ Where proof breaks down — and why missing receipts cause bigger problems later ⁉️ What increasing policy flags are really telling Finance teams ⁉️ How late submissions quietly make month-end harder ⁉️ Why approvals can unintentionally weaken expense controls ⁉️ What stronger controls look like across proof, policy, approvals and timing 📥 Download the FREE report here: https://lnkd.in/ex2QqE7r Want to see how ExpenseIn could help your organisation? 👉 Book a demo: https://lnkd.in/eA_9eqzp Interested in partnering with ExpenseIn? 👉 Join our growing partner ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/d9qfVsUc #ExpenseManagement #Finance #FinanceLeaders #ExpenseCompliance #SpendManagement #CFO #FinanceTransformation #ExpenseIn #HeadofFinance #Expenses #DigitalTransformation #AccountsIQ

Working in SA payments for nearly 6 years, I saw the same pattern repeat. Domestic collections run via API. Domestic payouts are programmatic. Reconciliation is clean [if they use Stitch :)]. Then they need to pay a supplier in London, and they open a PDF. I never understood this one. The same teams automating everything locally still paying international invoices filling in a form, attaching the invoice and emailing it to their bank. Then waiting and following up. Manual, slow, no visibility, on some of the biggest payments they make. That's why I'm excited about what we've built at CrissCross. We're now a SARB-approved Treasury Outsourcing Company (TOC)! With the Stitch Group, we now support cross-border invoice settlement for SA enterprise clients in USD and other G10 currencies, delivered alongside a South African Authorised Dealer. What that looks like in practice: - Foreign payouts on your existing API integration - T+0 or T+1 settlement - Competitive FX rates you see before you accept - Compliance and reporting handled, not handed off This is big news! If you're paying suppliers abroad, from SA or anywhere else, message me. I'll eloquently explain why you should use us :) Read more about how it works: https://lnkd.in/dRhTDsY9 Cornelius Coetzee James Cope Willemijn van Lookeren Campagne Kiaan Pillay Junaid Dadan Priyen Pillay Thea Sokolowski Simone le Roux

Ananas i egen Piña Colada Forleden lærte jeg, at loyalitet åbenbart også kan være en betalingsform. I artiklen "Loyale boligkunder går glip af store besparelser i storbanker", bragt i Børsen den 18. september, beskrives det, hvordan nye kunder i nogle tilfælde tilbydes bedre vilkår end kunder, der allerede har lagt deres forretning det samme sted i årevis. Det er naturligvis ikke unikt for finanssektoren. Mange virksomheder investerer mere i acquisition end i retention. Ikke fordi de glemmer deres eksisterende kunder, men fordi vækst måles på nye kunder, markedsandele og salg. Derfor går de skarpeste tilbud ofte til dem, man gerne vil have ind ad døren. Problemet er bare, at de færreste danskere bruger fritiden på at overvåge bidragssatser, pensionsomkostninger og investeringsløsninger. Det er her, vi kommer ind i billedet. Hos Finobo hjælper vi hver dag kunder med at afklare, om deres økonomi stadig arbejder for dem, eller om markedet er løbet lidt hurtigere end deres aftaler. Vores opgave er ikke nødvendigvis at flytte kunder. Vores opgave er at sikre, at de føler de aldrig bliver efterladt på autopilot. Derfor er vi også ganske tilfredse med, at vores marketingafdeling med deres sædvanlige beskedenhed har formuleret følgende; "Vi vinder i SAMTLIGE relevante kategorier på Trustpilot." Det lyder umiddelbart som ananas i egen juice, men vi fejrer det med ananas i egen Piña Colada. For loyalitet burde være noget, man bliver belønnet for, og ikke noget, man betaler ekstra for. Vil du teste vores loyalitet og kundskaber, prøve linket i kommentaren.

In 2019 when I was at Adyen I worked on an integration with a paybybank provider in South Africa. We went live with Facebook as our merchant— the tech worked, the UX worked. But then we hit a wall: we couldn't get the funds out of the country. South Africa has strict capital controls. Every outward payment requires navigating exchange control regulations, BOP codes and more. For any business trying to pay international vendors, it's a challenge. I've thought about that 2019 problem a lot since. And I'm genuinely thrilled to say we've built the solution! CrissCross is now a SARB-approved Treasury Outsourcing Company (TOC). And because we sit inside the Stitch Group — which is both a licensed PSP and acquirer — we're in a position nobody else is in: we can handle the full flow. Collect ZAR, convert it, settle it internationally. One group, one platform, no handoffs. So for any Stitch client, paying an international invoice is now genuinely simple. Deposit ZAR, we handle the FX and the regulatory reporting, funds arrive at T+0 or T+1. Here's what that looks like in practice: - One API integration for foreign payouts - T+0 or T+1 settlement - Competitive FX rates with full transparency - Compliance and reporting handled, not handed off This is the thing I wish had existed in 2019.

Controle de despesa corporativa em duas etapas: passou o cartão, lançou no app. Sem complicação. Foi exatamente isso que mostrei no vídeo ao pagar o estacionamento com o cartão empresarial Edenred Pay Brasil. Não tem burocracia, nem reembolso depois. O cartão funciona no modelo pré-pago, já configurado com os CNAEs e categorias que cada colaborador está autorizado a usar. O controle acontece antes mesmo de o cartão ser passado. O fluxo é simples: passa o cartão, abre o app, lança a despesa e discrimina a categoria. Dois passos. O financeiro recebe tudo organizado, categorizado e rastreável. Controle em tempo real, conformidade automática e uma experiência que qualquer colaborador executa em segundos. Assiste ao vídeo e me conta: como é feito esse controle de despesas hoje na sua empresa? #gestãodedespesas #controlededespesas #cartãocorporativo #tecnologia #inovação #conarh

“Nowadays, everybody knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Oscar Wilde wrote those words more than 130 years ago in The Picture of Dorian Gray, while living in Chelsea. As I prepare to attend the CECE Economic Forum in London, I'm struck by how relevant that insight remains today. Because every economic transaction starts with a discussion about price, yet too many discussions never move far enough beyond it. Price tells us what something costs. Value explains why it is worth investing in. And let me add a third dimension that is particularly relevant in asset finance: affordability. If price is the what and value is the why, affordability is often the how. Around these three elements revolve many of the questions facing the construction equipment sector today: utilisation, cash flow, project visibility, equipment lifecycle, and the flexibility needed to adapt as conditions evolve. Ultimately, they all contribute to one outcome: the confidence to invest. I'm looking forward to discussing these topics and exchanging perspectives with fellow CECE members, manufacturers and industry leaders over the coming days. If you're attending the forum, I'd be delighted to connect. #CECE #ConstructionEquipment #AssetFinance #DLL

You've seen our posts about on/off ramps. Here's how it works in practice. For crypto businesses that hold their treasury in stablecoins like USDC or EURC, on/off ramping connects them to traditional payment rails. They can convert USDC into USD or EUR and pay counterparties directly through SWIFT or SEPA. Fees start at 0.15%, and you see the full cost before you send. No surprise FX spread, no hidden intermediary charges. Sign up to try: https://lnkd.in/gRCXsh3U

Today, we’re launching USDT payments to China 🇨🇳 This is one of the most requested payment routes among importers. China accounts for roughly 30% of global manufacturing output, and for many businesses, buying from Chinese suppliers is essential. Now you can send USDT, and your supplier can receive a payment the same day through: • Alipay • WeChat Pay • CIPS in CNH For importers in emerging markets, this opens a faster way to pay suppliers without waiting on international bank transfers. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gTga_GHZ Also contact us if you are interested in API. #China #Stablecoins #USDTtoCNH #Importers

The question I get asked most by councils isn't "How much will it cost?" It's "Will people actually give?" It's an understandable concern, budgets are stretched, and nobody wants to launch a fund that lands with a thud. But what I've seen time and time again is that match funding gives people confidence. When projects are backed by their council and other organisations, the crowd pulls through. I really enjoyed co-hosting our Match Funding for Local Authorities webinar alongside James Ruddick (Nature Recovery Project Development Officer, Cornwall Council) and Graeme Roy (Head of Partnerships, Crowdfunder). Cornwall is such a great example of what can happen when a council funds projects alongside its community, but I'll let James explain the numbers in the clip below. If you'd like to receive a crowdfunding report, drop me a message or a comment below with your area. It gives a ton of information including total raised, supporting organisations, top projects & more!

First day at Sibos 2026 in Miami. 🇺🇸 Great to be here and to see so many people from across the global payments and financial services ecosystem. For me, this is an important opportunity to spend time with banks, financial institutions, payment companies, fintechs and enterprises as we continue to scale Heron in the US market. The conversations today have been particularly interesting around cross-border payments, settlement infrastructure and how stablecoin rails can fit into existing financial workflows. At Heron, our focus remains simple: Fiat in → stablecoin rails → fiat out. We handle the complexity in between, while businesses can continue operating through the infrastructure and processes they already know. Looking forward to more conversations, meetings and new connections over the next few days. If you’re at Sibos in Miami, let’s connect. #Sibos2026 #Sibos #Heron #Payments #CrossBorderPayments #Stablecoins #Fintech

At Bluefront Equity, we envision a future where the world's seafood supply is sustainable, accessible and responsibly managed and one of the most important shifts we see across the industry is the growing role of artificial intelligence. Across our portfolio, AI is already creating real value. Horizon Software enables biological and financial optimisation, Piscada Aqua uses computer vision and predictive models to optimise feeding, and SEAQLOUD AS uses sensor data to give early warning of changes in water quality. For the companies we work with, this means better biology, lower costs and stronger sustainability performance. Yet technology is rarely the main barrier. Like many traditional industries, aquaculture often sees implementation as a hurdle. Operations rely on decades of experience, margins are sensitive, and new systems require investment in data, skills and new routines. Many promising pilots never reach full scale. As an active owner, we see it as part of our role to help portfolio companies move from pilot to practice, ensuring technology fits existing operations and delivers measurable results. We believe the future leaders in blue food will combine deep industry knowledge with the right use of technology.

Next stop: Miami. 🇺🇸 Heron is heading to Sibos 2026, September 28–October 1. We’re going to meet the banks, payment companies, fintechs and enterprises building the next generation of global payments. At Heron, we’re building the infrastructure that makes stablecoins usable for businesses. We connect payment providers, on/off ramps, banking rails and stablecoin infrastructure behind one orchestration layer; so companies can access new payment corridors without managing multiple integrations or changing the systems they already use. For CFOs, treasury teams and payment leaders, the goal is simple: Faster cross-border payments. More payment and settlement options. Less infrastructure complexity. The US is an important market for Heron, and Sibos is a great opportunity to meet the institutions shaping how money will move globally. If you’re in Miami for Sibos, let’s connect. 📍 Miami Beach 📅 September 28 – October 1, 2026 #Sibos2026 #Heron #Payments #CrossBorderPayments #Stablecoins #Fintech

Three of the biggest brokerage technology decisions are usually made separately: the trading platform, liquidity bridge and liquidity provider. That means separate setup, more integration points and multiple costs from day one. The cTrader + cBridge + cFinancial bundle brings all three together: 🔹cTrader for the trading experience 🔹cBridge for aggregation, routing and operational control 🔹cFinancial for institutional liquidity The combined setup fee is reduced from $11,000 to $5,000.The estimated first invoice starts from $12,000.
