On the very first episode of The Payments Shed Podcast, hosts Grant Evans and Justin Hanna sit down with Nigel Tanner (CEO, EIT) and Sophie Garlick (COO, EIT) to explore the remarkable journey of European Information Technology (EIT), from its beginnings as a customer, to becoming a trusted vendor, and ultimately a market leader in the payments space.Together, they unpack:The EIT Story – how the company grew from a small operation in Crayford into a major player in payments technology.The Power of Payment Hub – the frustrations that sparked its creation, how it’s evolved, and why it stands out in the market.Why EIT? – what makes EIT a trusted partner for ISOs and acquirers, and how adaptability fuels their growth strategy.Opportunities Ahead – global expansion, automation, and why being acquirer-agnostic sets EIT apart.Industry Challenges – the toughest pain points facing partners today, and how EIT helps streamline logistics, helpdesk, and engineering services.And of course, no episode would be complete without a trip to the Shelf of Shame, where Nigel and Sophie nominate the things they’d banish forever from the world of payments.Tune in for a 30-minute deep dive into innovation, strategy, and the future of payments technology, straight from the leaders shaping it.***The Payments Shed Podcast is sponsored by TAMI AI.TAMI AI is the market intelligence and lead generation platform built for sales and marketing teams who want precision, not guesswork.
