In this episode, Orlando Alvarez—CEO of Strictly and Prospect—joins us to share his journey from installing credit card terminals in the 1990s to leading fintech platforms processing over $2 billion annually. He dives into the founding of Strictly, a fully in-house built solution helping businesses eliminate credit card processing fees through compliant surcharging.
Orlando discusses how Strictly's platform enables merchants to pass credit card fees to customers (while keeping debit transactions fee-free), increasing profitability without raising prices. He also explores the importance of embedded payments, ERP integrations with tools like Salesforce and NetSuite, and the growing role of AI in customer support and predictive analytics.
From automotive to dental, this conversation highlights how innovation and vertical-specific integrations are reshaping the future of payments.
