Galileo Instant Managing Director Cole Wilkes recently joined Zack Miller on Tearsheet Podcast to share how Galileo’s latest payments solution turns what can be a multi-month process for creating debit cards into a couple of weeks.

Inbound interest in Instant is high. As of mid-August, 900 businesses have signed up for Instant through the Instant Dashboard.
