Super cool to be on stage with Lucy Yueting Liu from Airwallex today at #WebSummit talking about the importance of cooperation over competition in fintech. Partnerships have been at the heart of GoCardless’ strategy since day one, and in the 13 years since, we’ve seen how powerful they can be when scaling quickly and efficiently -- particularly when expanding internationally. Thanks for moderating Ryan Browne from CNBC, always a pleasure to speak!
Fully agree. Collaborations has to be supported more in this new fragmented world we are entering. 🧬✨
There are no competitors. Only potential collaborators! 😊
Great talk.

Thinking of a return once V2 of https://skilledup.life is built to offer alternatives to Stripe including perhaps Flutterwave - all depends on how easy our tech stack would be. I have plenty of stories about collaborating with competitors. cc/ Eileen Burbidge
