Episode 408: Retrofitting US Payments Rails

September 23, 2021

In this week's Breaking Banks we see Silicon Valley Bank and our old friends Plaid teaming up to try to remove some of the friction of the US ACH bank-to-bank payment rails. Joining us from Plaid are Ian Macallister, and Raja Chakravoti, and SVB's Head of Digital, Shaleen Prakash. We debate how much longer the ACH system will survive and what the smart rails of the 21st century might look like.
