See Drew speak on this panel

Drew Harris is Director of Sales & Product at Qredible, where he helps shape the company’s technology and market strategy for improving how financial institutions and payment providers understand, evaluate, and manage regulated merchants. His path into banking and payments compliance began from a unique perspective, as the merchant. An entrepreneur and multiple-time Ironman triathlete, Drew founded a CBD and legal hemp company focused on providing natural, plant-based wellness alternatives. While building the business across wholesale, retail, and direct-to-consumer channels, he experienced firsthand the challenges regulated merchants face, including repeated disruptions to banking and payment processing relationships despite operating a legitimate business.

Those experiences ultimately led Drew to Qredible and gave him a deep appreciation for the gaps that exist between merchants, payment providers, banks, and compliance teams. Today, he works across the regulated commerce ecosystem with financial institutions, processors, business owners, and industry leaders to advance more intelligent approaches to merchant underwriting, product-level compliance, and continuous risk monitoring. His perspective from both sides of the financial relationship helps bridge the gap between responsible commerce and effective risk management.

Drew is passionate about modernizing how the banking and payments industries approach regulated businesses. Moving beyond broad industry classifications and point-in-time reviews toward greater transparency, better intelligence, and continuous compliance. His mission is to help build the financial and compliance infrastructure he wishes had existed when he was the merchant.
