Keith Vander Leest’s Post

Are merchant payouts about to move a lot faster than most teams expected? On Web3 with Fintech Confidential, Tedd Huff talks with Keith Vander Leest, US General Manager at BVNK, about why stablecoin payments matter in issuing and merchant acquiring. Keith Vander Leest of BVNK said, "On the issuing side the issuer can settle 24/7." That line matters because timing changes operations. If an issuer can settle all day, every day, the pressure on old funding schedules starts to loosen. This is where the conversation gets useful. Teams that issue cards or manage payout flows care about speed, funding pressure, and what happens over weekends. 📍 24/7 settlement changes issuer operations 📍 Faster merchant payouts improve cash access 📍 Weekend settlement reduces waiting time 📍 Stablecoin payment rails can ease funding friction Tedd keeps the focus on practical use cases, and Keith gives a grounded answer that payment leaders can actually use. That makes this one worth paying attention to if you work in issuing, acquiring, treasury, or merchant services. If your team could settle 24/7, what would you fix first? #Fintech #StablecoinPayments #MerchantPayouts #Issuing #Acquiring #Payments #OnChainSettlement #Web3 #FintechConfidential #TeddHuff Tedd Huff DD3 Media Fintech Confidential
