1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.285
Amanda, what's been so far, um, today?

2
00:00:03.365 --> 00:00:04.765
I mean, what's been your takeaway today?

3
00:00:05.265 --> 00:00:07.285
My takeaway is, you know what?

4
00:00:07.455 --> 00:00:10.405
Every January when De Bank has a connect event in Miami,

5
00:00:10.955 --> 00:00:13.125
it's a good time to just stop what you're doing.

6
00:00:13.145 --> 00:00:15.765
We worked so hard last year to come here and meet together.

7
00:00:16.115 --> 00:00:17.645
It's really good to just catch up

8
00:00:18.145 --> 00:00:20.445
and there is a lot more people than I expected.

9
00:00:20.565 --> 00:00:21.925
A lot of brand new faces,

10
00:00:22.665 --> 00:00:25.925
and you're really getting a good perspective of

11
00:00:25.955 --> 00:00:28.485
what everybody went through last year to kind

12
00:00:28.485 --> 00:00:29.685
of push into this year kind

13
00:00:29.685 --> 00:00:32.845
of gives you like a good fresh start to push into 2024.

14
00:00:33.515 --> 00:00:35.885
Talk to me, what do you think has been like,

15
00:00:35.905 --> 00:00:38.085
how has the industry changed from last year to this year?

16
00:00:41.985 --> 00:00:44.685
You stumped me. There's a lot of changes.

17
00:00:45.165 --> 00:00:46.445
I believe we're still going through

18
00:00:46.465 --> 00:00:50.285
so many changes right now, depending on who the partners are

19
00:00:50.395 --> 00:00:53.365
that brokers work with and what they're implementing.

20
00:00:53.365 --> 00:00:54.845
To safeguard the brokers

21
00:00:55.265 --> 00:00:58.325
and safeguard the small businesses that they work

22
00:00:58.325 --> 00:00:59.325
with in order

23
00:00:59.325 --> 00:01:01.845
to grow them into better financial products is big.

24
00:01:02.565 --> 00:01:05.045
I think everybody's mind frame is kind of going

25
00:01:05.915 --> 00:01:07.125
more than MCA

26
00:01:07.465 --> 00:01:09.245
and seeing where they could place

27
00:01:09.245 --> 00:01:11.445
their merchants in for the long term. So

28
00:01:12.295 --> 00:01:15.165
Would you, would you be back for another bank event?

29
00:01:15.395 --> 00:01:16.765
I'll be back. I'll always come back.

30
00:01:16.905 --> 00:01:17.965
I'm definitely supportive.

31
00:01:18.325 --> 00:01:20.645
I love seeing everybody here that, you know,

32
00:01:20.645 --> 00:01:22.325
we all come together every single year

33
00:01:22.585 --> 00:01:23.805
and it just keeps growing.

34
00:01:24.235 --> 00:01:26.405
This is this like the fourth or fifth one? Yeah, of course.

35
00:01:26.405 --> 00:01:28.885
Yeah, of course. I'll, I'll definitely come every year.
