903: Lou Anne Alexander, Group President of Payment Solutions for Early Warning

<p>How do you send money to friends, family, and just about anyone else? The odds are you’re no longer putting a check in the mail. When was the last time you even used a check? </p><p>With so many of us abandoning our checkbooks and person to person payment services taking off, banks needed to change with the times or risk losing their customers. </p><p>That’s where my guest today Lou Anne Alexander enters the scene. She’s the Group President of Payment Solutions for Early Warning LLC, and led the launch of Zelle — the financial services' first real time payment network. Zelle was also the presenting partner of Stacks House in Los Angeles, the financial empowerment pop-up museum  She has spent the last few years on the road promoting Zelle to banking executives who weren’t always so eager to embrace change. And she’s done it successfully, with <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/zelle-announces-39-billion-in-money-sent-on-147-million-transactions-300837091.html">$39 billion</a> sent through Zelle in the first quarter of this year. </p><p>A banking veteran with years of success under her belt, I’m very excited to have Lou Anne Alexander joining us today. </p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
