Green Sheet interviews LatentView Analytics CBO Parijat Banerjee
Parijat Banerjee, chief business officer at LatentView Analytics, has spent more than 15 years leading digital and risk transformations for Fortune 500 banks. He shared his views with The Green Sheet on Stripe's evolving strategy, the advantages established payments providers still hold, the modernization needed to put their data to work and the role traditional payments companies could play as AI agents begin making purchasing and payment decisions.
Merchants have been complaining about the cost of card acceptance for decades—in the courts and legislative chambers. Now absent definitive action on the federal level the states are stepping in, leaving acquirers and their sales partners vulnerable to a patchwork of laws.

James Shephard & Patti Murphy

What makes a payments portfolio valuable—and what should agents and ISOs understand before selling? In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James Shepherd sits down with Lane Gordon, CEO of 733Park, to break down the process of selling a portfolio of merchant accounts and residual income.
They discuss the key factors that influence valuation, including revenue attrition, merchant concentration, vertical mix, portability, software integrations, and the strength of long-term agreements. They also explain right of first refusal, how buyers structure offers, and why the difference between upfront cash and an earnout can significantly affect the final deal.
In the Today in Payments segment, James and Patti Murphy explore recent FTC enforcement actions involving payment processors, growing expectations around industry compliance, consumer trust in AI-powered payments, digital wallet developments, Mastercard’s legal challenges, and the ongoing debate over the Credit Card Competition Act. Together, these conversations offer insight into both the opportunities and risks shaping the payments industry.
