Brian Bailey, President of Clip | Episode 391

What happens when you combine decades of payment industry expertise with a mission to solve one of the most overlooked problems in business banking? Brian Bailey, President of Clip Money, joins us to reveal how his company is transforming the way businesses handle cash deposits.

Despite the rapid growth of digital payments, cash still accounts for nearly 30% of all in-store transactions. Yet for decades, businesses have been forced to operate within an antiquated system - physically carrying cash to bank branches during limited hours, using paper deposit slips, and lacking visibility into their deposit lifecycle. With a network of 7,000 deposit locations across North America, Clip Money offers a revolutionary alternative that saves businesses 40-60% on deposit costs while providing next-business-day credit.

Bailey walks us through Clip's innovative shared network model that includes smart safes in shopping malls, deposit-enabled ATMs in partnership with NCR Atleos, and over-the-counter services through Green Dot's retail network. This infrastructure allows businesses to make deposits on their schedule, closer to their locations, while gaining full digital transparency through Clip's software platform. The result is a win-win proposition - businesses improve cash flow and reduce costs, while financial institutions can move cash handling outside their branches.

Drawing from his extensive background at NCR and Cardtronics, Bailey shares valuable insights about payment infrastructure evolution, regulatory challenges for fintech innovators, and the future of shared payment networks.
