Ed Marshall and Theresa Kananen Share Insights on Payment Aggregation and Contract Risks on Rainforest Payment Strategy Show

AGG Payment Systems & Fintech co-chairs Ed Marshall and Theresa Kananen joined host Joshua Silver, founder and CEO of Rainforest, on the Rainforest Payment Strategy Show to clarify payment models, explain compliance obligations, and share strategies that platforms should evaluate when choosing a payments provider.

They also addressed why merchant of record status doesn’t eliminate compliance responsibilities, how the flow of funds differentiates payment models, and what to look for when switching providers and navigating exclusivity clauses.
