Extend's Andrew Jamison on working with banks to distribute virtual cards

Fintechs basically have a major decision to make early on. Do you compete head on with incumbents and try to displace them? Or, do you go the b2b route and empower the bigger players with tech? Andrew Jamison, co-Founder and CEO of Extend (https://www.paywithextend.com/), took the second route. He and his firm have built a credit card platform for existing players to instantly distribute credit cards to anyone at any time. He joins us on the podcast to talk about his experience at Amex maintaining all B2B payment solutions, including virtual card platforms, and how that informs what he’s building with Extend. We also discuss how Extend differentiates in a quickly growing competitive space and what he’s cooking up in the product pipeline in the near future. Andrew Jamison is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast. Before we jump into the podcast, I wanted to introduce you to Outlier, Tearsheet’s leading membership program.
