To get past both, Trade Treasury Payments’ Deepesh Patel sat down with Sanjeev Ganjoo, formerly of Citi and a member of TTP’s Global Advisory Panel, and asked him to explain the whole thing from the beginning: what gets securitised, who owns what, who loses money first when things go wrong, and what any of it costs.
