I'm thrilled to announce that Knot is expanding into Canada, partnering with @RBC, the country's largest bank. For years, we've built the merchant connectivity layer across the U.S., linking the people, financial institutions, and merchants behind everyday spend. Now, we're taking it international with RBC. RBC didn't become Canada's largest bank by standing still. They move early, they invest in their clients, and they push the industry forward. That is exactly the kind of partner we want to be building alongside. For RBC cardholders, the experience is seamless. From the moment a card is in hand, their spend follows it across the merchants and subscriptions they rely on. No reentering details, no failed charges, no gaps when a card is reissued. Canada is our first market beyond the U.S., and it won't be the last. Huge thanks to the RBC team for being such great partners.

We're excited to announce that @sezzleinc is now live with @KnotAPIs. Starting today, Sezzle shoppers can instantly set the Sezzle Card as their preferred payment method across Amazon, Apple, Walmart, Uber, DoorDash, and hundreds of other merchants, directly from within the Sezzle app using Knot's CardSwitcher™. What excites me most is what comes next: The future of finance is helping consumers manage, optimize, and automate their financial lives. Merchant connectivity is the infrastructure that enables transaction intelligence, subscription management, personalized experiences, and agentic commerce. The institutions building these capabilities today will define the next generation of consumer finance. Sezzle is building for where consumer finance is going, and we're thrilled to be building alongside them. This is just the beginning.

We’re excited to announce that @KnotAPIs is now available within @Q2_Software. For years, credit unions and community banks have faced the same challenge: delivering the modern experiences customers expect without the engineering resources of the largest institutions. That gap has made it increasingly difficult to compete for top-of-wallet. Today, that changes. The 1,000+ credit unions and community banks running on Q2 can now enable Knot’s CardSwitcher™ with just a few clicks. Cardholders can seamlessly set their card as the default payment method across Amazon, Netflix, DoorDash, Uber, and many of the merchants that drive recurring and everyday spend. Huge thank you to the team at Q2 for partnering with us. We believe the future of banking belongs to the institutions that make it effortless for customers to choose them, and we’re proud to help bring those capabilities to financial institutions of every size.

The other day, we received a crossword puzzle application at Knot. A bunch of the answers were “Knot” references/puns, and the final clue was: “Who will be Knot’s next PM?” The answer was the candidate’s own name. He’s actually a strong applicant. Harvard grad, great strategy experience at a massive bank, clearly thoughtful and creative. I figured I’d share because it genuinely stood out in a sea of applications. If you're looking for a sharp PM/Ops/CoS candidate, I'm happy to make an introduction.

Rory O'Reilly@RoryOReilly·26 Nis

I’m excited to have guest written an essay in this week's Fintech Biz Weekly by @mikulaja on what I believe is the next major layer in payments. Sharing an excerpt below👇 - full essay, along with Jason’s latest work, is in the comments: Payments has had two great infrastructure eras. The first was the network era. American Express was founded in 1850. Visa traces its roots to BankAmericard in 1958. Mastercard began as the Interbank Card Association in 1966. Over decades, these companies built the rails that move money between banks, merchants, and consumers. The second was the bank connectivity era. Finicity, a Mastercard Company and Yodlee were both founded in 1999. MX came in 2010. Plaid followed in 2013. That generation made bank accounts readable, programmable, and usable inside modern software. Without that layer, most fintech apps would still be asking users to confirm micro deposits, or manually prove their financial lives. Those two layers are now obvious. They have standards, incumbents, regulators, public companies, major exits, and strategic importance across the entire financial system. But the next layer is already taking shape, despite being under-discussed: the layer where the consumer–merchant relationship actually lives. It sits between consumers and the merchants they interact with every day. Not just when they pay, but when they buy, return, update credentials, subscribe, cancel, reorder, redeem rewards, track deliveries, manage travel, change preferences, and maintain the digital relationships that increasingly define modern commerce. I call it the merchant connectivity layer.

i know of a niche infra tool that plugs into card neobanks and connects to users’ external bank accounts via Plaid it identifies all active subscriptions and automatically switches the billing over to the neobank’s card, replacing the user’s existing card on file this can increase card spend by 20–30%, making it an A tier offer integrate the tool and immediately boost interchange revenue by 20–30%
