Welome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I'm Zack Miller.

There's a lot of activity in global payments going on right now. Interestingly, global payments was a popular foothold for many of fintech's first generation of startups. Companies like Transferwise proved that there were huge opportunities in improving global payments and that it can be done  profitably. 

Now, commercial banks, correspondent banks, and consortia are taking aim at trying to wrestle this business back: Swift is massively promoting its global payments initiative and JPMorgan made news recently with its Interbank Information Network. 

Who will win at the end of the day? Transferwise CTO Harsh Sinha thinks these consortia initiatives and their focus on blockchain miss the mark. He joins us on the Tearsheet Podcast to discuss global payments, the eventual winners and losers, and to drill down on some of the innovative work he's doing at Transferwise.
