As fintech products become increasingly capable, the infrastructure behind them fades into the background. Three trends from Money20/20 show how stablecoins, agents, and always-on money are changing financial services.
For entrepreneurs, finding new customers doesn’t always require expensive advertising or endless cold outreach. Sometimes, the best opportunities come from people who already trust your business and are willing to recommend your products or services. A referral-based sales pipeline turns those recommendations into a repeatable strategy for attracting qualified leads, building relationships, and growing revenue. 1. Build Relationships Before Asking for Referrals Start by delivering excellent customer experiences. Satisfied clients, business partners, and professional contacts are more likely to
AI is creating more SaaS competition, and platforms are feeling the pressure. A Stripe survey of 200 platform leaders shows how they plan to evolve pricing, grow revenue, and retain customers.
We’re introducing three updates to help fintechs launch products and grow internationally more easily: simpler payout management with Stripe Global Payouts, support for stablecoin cards in more countries, and unified APIs for building global financial products.
Applications rely on current Stripe data to fulfill orders, update customer accounts, and manage access to paid features.

Leaders at Monetize 2026 shared how they’re combining subscriptions with usage-based billing, building spend controls into products, adapting packaging and value metrics, and making pricing readable for both human and AI buyers.
A strong referral network isn’t just a long list of contacts. It’s a group of people who know what you do, trust your work, and feel confident recommending you . The right network can create a steady flow of warm leads, partnerships, and new opportunities. Here’s how to build one that actually produces results. 1. Start With the Right People Focus on quality rather than quantity. Connect with customers, business owners, professionals, partners, and industry contacts who share your target audience or understand the value you provide. A smaller network of trusted relationships can be far more va
Asking for a referral can be one of the most effective ways to grow your business — but timing matters. A referral request should feel like a natural part of a strong customer relationship, not a sales pitch. When Is the Best Time to Ask? The best time is usually right after you’ve created a positive experience . Consider asking when: A customer compliments your product or service. You’ve successfully solved a problem for them. They give you positive feedback or a great review. A project has been completed successfully. They tell you they are happy with the results. They thank you for going ab
