Ep. 20 - The Biggest Race in Payments: Embedded Payments with Jack Mangnall, Co-Founder @ Shape Technologies

On this episode of The Payments Shed Podcast, hosts Grant Evans and Justin Hanna sit down with Jack Mangnall, Co-Founder of Shape Technologies, to dive into one of the hottest topics in fintech — embedded payments — and explore why it’s become the biggest race in payments today.Jack shares how Shape Technologies is helping software providers unlock new revenue streams and deliver seamless payment experiences, and the trio break down what truly defines embedded payments, how they differ from traditional integrations, and why they’re transforming the way businesses approach monetisation and customer experience.Together, they explore which sectors and players are setting the standard for success, why so many ISVs are still sitting on the sidelines, and what’s separating the leading PSPs from those struggling to keep pace. The conversation also looks ahead to the future of embedded payments — from emerging innovations to the trends shaping the next phase of growth — and Jack reveals what Shape’s recent selection for the JPMorganChase Fintech Forward Programme means for their mission and momentum.And of course, no episode would be complete without a trip to the Shelf of Shame, where Jack nominates a payments or fintech gripe he’d gladly see banished forever.***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.
