What an amazing week at Money 20/20 Asia! 🎉 The Wise Platform team connected with partners across APAC, highlighting the region's leadership in payments #innovation, financial inclusion and collaborative business models. The key themes included:  • AI is transforming the entire value chain, with increasing investment going into payments, compliance and liquidity forecasting 🤖 • Bank-fintech partnerships are booming, driven by demand for seamless financial experiences 🤝 The Wise Platform team joined panels on how to enable #providers to deliver faster, more efficient, and transparent payments: • Samarth Bansal led the conversation on making borderless financial ecosystems more accessible through interoperability, highlighting how partnerships are expanding global payment networks. • Flora Shi and flip’s Sourabh Gupta discussed customer-first approaches in payments.

It was great to host drinks at our new offices, during UK Fintech Week with our friends at Startup Coalition! 🚀 We packed the room with fintech founders, investors, and industry voices to talk about what it’ll take to unlock growth in the UK. Startup Coalition launched their new report A Growth Vision for Fintech which calls out what the sector needs to thrive, including the need for more transparency on hidden fees (you know we’ve got thoughts on that). Our Edward B. spoke alongside our local MP and Chair of the Treasury Committee Dame Meg Hillier and Shadow City Minister Mark Garnier OBE, on what it’ll take to make the UK the best place to drive fintech growth and help consumers & SMEs. Thanks to everyone who attended! 💚

One of the key ways we invest in our talent at Wise is by sharing our unique experiences with each other.

They were able to ask Kristo anything from what a typical day looks like, to his favourite things about Wise, and of course, his vision for our future. Interested in joining us?
