Adam Goller shared thisTrust is the real story behind instant payments. When consumers send a car down payment, pay tuition, or a business settles with a merchant in real time—they’re doing more than moving money fast. They’re putting faith in the rails, the technology, and the institutions behind them. In my latest blog—born from my panel discussion with Plaid at Money20/20—I explore how instant payments are reshaping expectations and why trust is the currency that makes it all possible: https://lnkd.in/eZnb4i_x #Money2020USA #InstantPayments #RequestForPaymentInstant Payments Adoption Sends a Powerful Signal: TrustInstant Payments Adoption Sends a Powerful Signal: Trust

Adam Goller shared thisWhen consumers use instant payments like Request for Payment (RfP) for moments that matter, they're sending a powerful signal: trust in the system. It’s not just about convenience anymore. It’s about confidence — in the rails, the technology, and the institutions that make these payments possible. I thoroughly enjoyed diving into RfP and these evolving trends alongside Plaid, The Clearing House, and Federal Reserve Financial Services yesterday at #Money2020USA. As we discussed, people are getting comfortable moving large amounts of money for meaningful life purchases through this rail. That shift speaks volumes about where the future of payments is headed. Thanks Plaid for hosting such a great discussion and being a great partner.

Adam Goller shared thisThe way people interact with money is evolving faster than ever. Instead of walking into a branch, people are moving money where they already spend their time: inside the platforms and apps they use every day. At Cross River, we’ve built a technology-first foundation that makes this shift possible and created a seamless experience that feels natural in today’s digital world. I recently shared some thoughts on how financial services are moving into social platforms, and what it takes for businesses to adapt and thrive in this new environment.

Adam Goller shared thisSuper excited about this. Great teamwork and big plans aheadAdam Goller shared thisThe future of gaming payments is here. Sightline Payments has partnered with Cross River to create Sightline Debit, the first integrated payments ecosystem for U.S. gaming. Sightline CEO and Co-Founder Omer Sattar on the partnership, “we saw an opportunity to solve one of the biggest and most costly inefficiencies in digital gaming, and we knew Cross River was the perfect partner to help us bring it to life. We are thrilled to have them with us as we reshape the gaming industry and we could not have done this without their vision and commitment to deep-rooted structural innovation.” The reimagined payments solution is the result of three years of close collaboration between Sightline and Cross River Bank, which has the potential to save U.S. digital gaming operators around $700 million annually.

Adam Goller liked thisAdam Goller liked thisOn Father’s Day weekend, more than 100 friends, family members, neighbors, and colleagues came together for the inaugural Jayho Pickleball Classic. The event was created to honor our friend Jay Tong, who passed away last year, and to support scholarships for children impacted by tragedy. But beyond fundraising, we had a simple goal: to remind Jenny, Jordan, and Jocelyn that they are surrounded by a community that loves them and will continue to show up for them. Jay introduced many of us to pickleball, but what he really created was something much more meaningful—a community. Seeing more than 100 people gather to celebrate Jay’s life, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and support a cause greater than ourselves was incredibly special. I’m grateful to the planning committee, our sponsors, Pickleball Charlotte, and everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and helped make the day possible. Most of all, I’m grateful that we were able to spend a day honoring a remarkable friend whose impact continues to bring people together.

Adam Goller liked thisAdam Goller liked thisI've joined Stripe to lead the Accenture alliance and help grow Stripe's GSI ecosystem! I’ve loved seeing what happens when a massive GSI and a cutting-edge platform team up. And honestly, what has excited me about Stripe is that it is so much more than a payment processor—it’s the modern revenue infrastructure powering global enterprise transformation. Stripe powers 90% of the Dow Jones, 80% of the Nasdaq 100, and the world's top AI companies. Partnering up with GSIs, we’re going to make Stripe the backbone of the biggest tech transformations out there. A massive thank you to Tyler Bryson, Jim Ciortan, Christian DiCarlo, and especially Binoy G. for the incredibly warm welcome and the opportunity. The energy and talent here is unmatched—can't wait to see what we build together! #Stripe #Accenture #StrategicAlliances #Fintech

Adam Goller liked thisAdam Goller liked thisIncoming TV Show Recommendations powered by Sunstone Credit and Sunlight Financial. On Apple TV Pro I am enjoying Widows Bay (a little quirky), Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (good murder mystery), Cape Fear (not as good as the 1990s movie or its predecessor) but fun, and excited for the upcoming season of Sugar which just dropped. And the recently ended second season of Friends and Neighbors was solid, albeit it a little absurd. The last season of For All Mankind was really fun and sad, and the spinoff Star City is a great alternate reality look into the Soviet Union and its security services. Apple is killing it with content right now. Very impressed. For Father's Day, I treated myself to a little binging of The Agency, Season 2 on Paramount+ which dropped Sunday. I really enjoy that show. Michael Fassbender and Jeffrey Wright are both very good. As is the rest of the cast. And they dropped the entire 10 Episode season. Which is amazing. Watching TV one episode a week is STUPID and ruins the experience. If anyone has any other good shows to check out, please drop them in the comments. Unless they are related to the Yellowstone universe in which case no thank you. I have had more than my share. PS, I was in Alaska last week and saw a Glacier up close. That was pretty cool.

Adam Goller liked thisAdam Goller liked thisAfter a really hectic day volunteering and in the office yesterday, my wife and I had an opportunity to grab a quick special dinner out to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary bh! Tamar Lustman has been the most amazing life partner and I am beyond grateful and blessed to be alongside her. On the professional front, we married right before my first full time job, so my entire career has been with the benefit of her encouragement, tolerance, guidance, mentorship, support, and love and I never take any of that for granted. And during an otherwise really somber week where we so sadly attended funerals for two incredibly resilient, accomplished, and courageous friends who were struck down way before their time by brain cancer in their 50s, each leaving behind loving families, the importance of our loved ones, sharing our feelings often for how much they mean to us, and prioritizing what truly matters in life was very much front and center in my mind. Working to live and not the other way around. May we all know of only happy times to celebrate and commemorate, and find as many opportunities as possible to express gratitude for our blessings.

Adam Goller liked thisAdam Goller liked thisHappy Father's Day. This morning, I keep thinking about the men who got me here. My grandfather — we called him Zeidie — survived the Holocaust and built an entire life from nothing. From nothing. Alongside the whole army of survivors who landed in Brooklyn, he built a wholesale jewelry business brick by brick — literally from the ashes. My saba, after the war, planted roots in the land of Israel. A farmer. Building. Growing. Caring for his family and his community. Showing up every single day. Here's something I never forgot about either of them: I never once — and I mean ever — saw either man in bed when it was light outside. Both up before dawn, while it was still dark. (On the lighter side — remember the old Dunkin' commercial, "time to make the donuts"? That was their DNA decades before that commercial ever aired.) Same with my father. I never saw him in bed in the daylight. Not once. Nobody ever had to drag him up at 5am — he was already up. The grind. The hustle. The showing up. No days off. But here's the part that defines him. When his jewelry business hit a downturn — right as the fall of 2001 came up against 9/11 — there was every reason to shut it down and quietly step away. He was over 50. Instead, he pivoted. He took the last thirteen years of his life and poured them into founding an organization called Project Ezrah — built to help and retrain people who had fallen on hard times. Think about that. Over 50, your business gone, and you still rise before the sun — and channel everything you have into being there for others. Twenty-five years later, Project Ezrah is still flourishing — still lifting people across the community, still teaching the world something about the power of giving back. That's what I carry with me today. That's the stuff that builds. That's the truth. None of these three men are here today for me to honor them. But they are here — in every way that counts — for me to thank them, and to try to carry their lesson forward. Imagine the inheritance they left me. Not money. Not advice framed on a wall. One unshakable trait: you show up. Day in. Day out. When it's easy, and especially when it's not. This Father's Day, with all three of them watching from somewhere higher, I feel inspired. Motivated. Reminded of the one thing I most want to pass to my own boys — and to my sons-in-law too, if they'll take it from their father-in-law 😊. (and of course, for my daughters and daughters in law as well....but we are talking today about dads.) So listen up, guys: you show up every day, and you own it. To every father being honored and celebrated today — it's a beautiful day to reflect, and then to remember: it's on us. And we've got it. Every single day. let's gotavi

Adam Goller liked thisExcited to share this one. Melio just launched an autonomous B2B payment network. Agents that pay suppliers directly through their existing AR systems. No supplier onboarding. Buyers get full auditability, suppliers get paid in the format they already use. 30,000+ payments. $100M+ annualized. Already in production. The enrollment problem that’s held back every B2B payment network for decades? Agents just made it irrelevant. Proud to be working alongside some of the most creative people in fintech - Yotam Bloom and the Melio team 📈Adam Goller liked thisNearly 40% of U.S. B2B payments still move by paper check, often because traditional payment networks require enrolling suppliers one by one. Melio is changing that. We've launched an agent-powered payment network that lets buyers pay suppliers directly through their existing AR systems — no supplier onboarding, no new portal, no back-and-forth. Nobody has to sign up for anything new. 🔗 https://bit.ly/43LxJDJ "For decades, scaling a B2B payment network meant either building a rail or signing suppliers up one at a time. With agents, suppliers no longer have to join a network for the network to reach them." Aharon Levine, Melio’s VP of Payments Strategy
