Hey all, Jason here.

In this episode, I had the chance to talk with Executive Vice President and General Manager of Payments and Financial Services at BILL’s Mary Kay Bowman. Mary Kay’s career has spanned roles at Amazon, Square, Visa, and now financial operations platform BILL. We had a chance to discuss:

* BILL’s evolution from accounts payable and receivable tools, to cashflow insights and forecasting, to the wide breadth of capabilities it offers today

* Why so many businesses still use checks (really)

* Balancing the needs and preferences of payor and payee

* The persist challenges of fraud in the payments space

* The opportunities presented by AI and “agentic” payments

* And more!
