Taking Compliance from Barrier to Enabler in Global Payments

On Tuesday, November 18th at 1:00 PM (EST), MPD CEO Karen Webster will host a live digital discussion with Todd Latham, VP of Marketing, and John Hammond, Chief Commercial Officer at Currency Cloud to understand the role of APIs, compliance, and banks have played in overcoming barriers in international payments.
