In this episode hosted by Mary Jane Gibson live at MJBizCon 2025, Andrud details how Lüt developed the first new proprietary payment rails in 50 years, bypassing Visa and MasterCard to deliver faster settlement, lower costs, and FDIC-insured banking support through First Federal Bank of Florida. From its partnership with GreenCheck Verified to its focus on compliance, security, and operational efficiency, Lüt is advancing a purpose-built financial infrastructure designed to reduce cash risk and bring stability to high-growth, high-risk commerce.
