Hey all, Jason here.

  • Why Current decided to build its own tech stack & what it’s enabled the company to do

  • How Current and Cross River think about the “buy vs. build” debate

  • The “jobs to be done” addressed by Current’s Build Card

  • Current’s latest Datos Insights case study

  • The beauty and resiliency of ACH flat files (yes, really)

  • And more!
