Plastiq Founder & CEO Eliot Buchanan

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are hard to market to
and are routinely under-banked, so how can
financial services firms reach them?


This week, we speak with Plastiq Founder and CEO Eliot Buchanan.


Plastiq specializes in providing payments services to SMBs and
it signed a $480 million combination with Colonnade
Acquisition Corp II (NYSE: CLAA) in August.


Eliot tells us how Plastiq has made inroads in this slice of the
market and managed to dodge the impacts of the pandemic on its
customer base.


We also discuss how some of the macro headwinds blowing towards
SPACs actually provide a competitive advantage for Plastiq’s
operations.
