1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.860 Jim Fink: I think it's the coming out for everyone. So 2 00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:08.160 people are really excited to be here. A lot of traffic, which is 3 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.910 always good. And generally everyone is just ecstatic to 4 00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:15.330 kind of get back in networking and see colleagues and industry 5 00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:15.630 friends. 6 00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:19.440 Sean Murray: Yeah. Do you still sign up? Like payments partners 7 00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:21.660 as like referral partners? I mean, I imagine that's why 8 00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:24.870 you're here. But is that part of the business segment of the 9 00:00:24.870 --> 00:00:27.360 business still like working? 10 00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.120 Jim Fink: 100% that that's primary, my focus. Yeah. With 11 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.900 rapid is, is going to have to be processes. Yeah. Large super 12 00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.510 ISOs and requirements, and basically introducing the 13 00:00:36.510 --> 00:00:40.770 service through through their distribution network. That's a 14 00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:44.430 great segue into getting capital distributed to the marketplace. 15 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.390 Sean Murray: Okay. So how does it feel to be back here in 16 00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:50.730 person after the year that we've had? 17 00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.501 Jim Fink: I gotta say, we're, we're ecstatic and really 18 00:00:54.556 --> 00:00:57.864 excited about it. The energy is great. The traffic is great. 19 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.173 This is probably one of the largest regional shows that has 20 00:01:01.228 --> 00:01:04.371 happened, everyone's kind of out. No one's wearing masks, 21 00:01:04.426 --> 00:01:07.900 everyone is networking. You see colleagues you haven't seen for 22 00:01:07.955 --> 00:01:10.823 a year and a half, industry friends. So it's, it's a 23 00:01:10.878 --> 00:01:13.470 fantastic event, and really excited to be here. 24 00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:15.900 Sean Murray: What's going on with rapid finance, what's new 25 00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:17.520 in your end of the world? 26 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.141 Jim Fink: Tell you what, for us, we're really excited because 27 00:01:20.192 --> 00:01:23.173 everything now is back to pre COVID times, underwriting is 28 00:01:23.224 --> 00:01:26.513 back to pre COVID, even maybe a little looser than pre COVID. So 29 00:01:26.565 --> 00:01:29.648 we're excited about that. We've got some new products coming 30 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:32.938 down the coming down the pipe, we're about to release a line of 31 00:01:32.989 --> 00:01:36.124 credit soon. So that's kind of in the final versions of being 32 00:01:36.175 --> 00:01:39.259 developed. So we're excited to get that out to the market at 33 00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:42.343 some point. And again, we're pretty bullish on the industry 34 00:01:42.394 --> 00:01:45.221 right now a lot of the government money is is gone. And 35 00:01:45.272 --> 00:01:48.407 we're looking to kind of turn up the, turn up a faucet, we're 36 00:01:48.459 --> 00:01:49.230 really excited. 37 00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:52.221 Sean Murray: What have referral partners been telling you about 38 00:01:52.274 --> 00:01:55.590 what's happened in the industry. Are they are they coming back? 39 00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:58.111 Jim Fink: Yeah, the one thing we're hearing a lot is, you 40 00:01:58.164 --> 00:02:01.115 know, a lot of them kind of dialed down their marketing 41 00:02:01.169 --> 00:02:04.334 because of the government funds, the PPP money that was out 42 00:02:04.387 --> 00:02:07.713 there. So they were kind of, you know, preserving capital. And 43 00:02:07.767 --> 00:02:11.093 right now we're starting to hear that they're about to dial it 44 00:02:11.146 --> 00:02:14.472 back up. So we're excited there. They seem to be very excited. 45 00:02:14.526 --> 00:02:17.691 And we feel in this recovery period. You know, capital is a 46 00:02:17.745 --> 00:02:20.910 much needed necessity for these small businesses to kind of 47 00:02:20.963 --> 00:02:24.289 continue the recovery and also do what they want to do from an 48 00:02:24.343 --> 00:02:25.470 expansion standpoint. 49 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.360 Sean Murray: Jim, thank you very much. 50 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.310 Jim Fink: I appreciate it. Thank you.
