On the event front: our [9th Embedded Finance Review Event](https://luma.com/agpgicos?ref=embeddedfinancereview.com) is confirmed for April 15th in Berlin, and the agenda is set. Eliot Marcus (**Visa**'s Head of New Product Development for Europe) will walk through how Visa is evolving its network infrastructure, including the story of Flexible Credential and what it means for BNPL across Europe. And I'll be sitting down with Leonard Strigel (**YouLend**) and Felix Kristl (**eBay**) to dig into what it actually takes to embed lending into a marketplace. Sign up for the waitlist, and I'll approve you when a spot opens up. On the jobs side, three opportunities worth flagging from the month: Buena (Berlin-based property management software) [is building a banking product](https://x.com/dinbisevac/status/2036416164935467229?s=46&t=qeMRUDnnzwQ1nJRrCFcbFQ&ref=embeddedfinancereview.com); GetYourGuide is hiring a [Senior Payments Lead](https://www.getyourguide.careers/jobs/7711918?ref=embeddedfinancereview.com); and an undisclosed major European platform is looking for someone to own its PSP strategy and commercial negotiations. Reach out if any of these fit. And now let's dive in 👇 --- 🔔 ****Office Hours:** I offer free calls for anybody building in Embedded Finance.
