Over 150 payments innovators gathered at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club to gain insights on succeeding in cross-border payments. Attendees heard from industry leaders including Upwork, Melio, Gusto, and Bridge, alongside our in-house experts, as they explored why nearly half of American small-to-mid-sized enterprises view cross-border payments as a barrier to global expansion. The discussion focused on how marketplaces, expense management, and bill payment platforms can address these challenges by delivering fast, low-cost, and reliable payment experiences.
