North American trade tensions challenge regional commerce as US-Canada trade tensions reshape payments, resilience and banking across the region.
John HunterGuestDoa SanmazHostPlease could you introduce yourself to our listeners and tell us a bit about your role within Scotiabank?
I've spent my career in the intersection of kind of payments, technology, and transaction banking.
Today, I lead cash management products globally at Scotiabank, and I also head our U.S. transaction banking business.
Before joining Scotiabank, I worked for Wells Fargo, I worked for SWIFT, I worked for JP Morgan and started my life in consulting.
So I've had lots of opportunities to work in many different banks and have a great depth of experience, mostly around transaction banking and innovation.
Like, if you think about it, Scotiabank is really the only Canadian bank with operations of scale across Canada, U.S., and Mexico.
It puts us in a real strong position to help clients navigate this North America economy.
Yeah, that's going to be extremely useful for our discussion, and we'll definitely get into that in a bit.
