Tonik’s Post

We had the BEST speakers We shared insights fintechs don’t usually talk about... I spent a month that completely changed my perspective on how banks are built. And for the last 3 months, I’ve had the insane opportunity to host, learn, debate, and exchange with some of the top fintech minds from around the world. 📍 From KYC & fraud, to stablecoins, GTM strategies, product growth in emerging markets, and VC fundraising, we covered it all. Here are some of the speakers we featured: ▪️ Nicolas Moalic (Revolut – France & Benelux) We unpacked Revolut’s GTM playbooks, how to scale internationally and reach 50M+ users, and even how to launch a bank from scratch. ▪️Alex Bowen (COO, PayMe by HSBC) We went deep on how he scaled PayMe to over half a million users in Hong Kong and made a real impact in people’s daily lives. ▪️ Mila Bedrenets (Tonik – Philippines) Her mindset blew me away. She built Tonik into the most successful neobank in the Philippines by keeping the product simple in emerging markets. ▪️ Somil Goyal (Founder, Project Brains) Fraud is one of the biggest pain points in banking, and he walked us through how to identify and stop attacks before they scale. ▪️ Eric Barbier (CEO, Triple-A) He showed us how stablecoins are the future of payments, and how to potentially utilise wallets like Grab to receive crypto instantly in a demo. ▪️ Tyler Dean (Fintech VC) We discussed how VCs evaluate and scale fintechs from launch to exit. His analytical mind and strategic thinking were next level. ▪️ Jonathan Low(CEO, Biptap) He built an 8-figure fintech business by focusing on partnerships first, now providing tech to brands like OnlyFans. ▪️ Karena Belin (WHub, AngelHub) She gave a full update on the state of fintech today, how to identify a successful company early, and the story behind helping WeLab to become one of the Hong Kong Unicorns. ▪️ Zavier Murtza (CGO, Xprizo™) We explored how he entered some of the world’s hardest fintech markets and developed a custom GTM strategy for each. ▪️ Philipp Pointner (Chief of Digital Identity, Jumio Corporation) We spoke about KYC, deepfakes, fraud, and how to protect your identity. Its insights changed the way I see privacy forever. ▪️ Lawrence Li (Cross-border, Airwallex) We broke down cross-border payments and how to partner smartly to scale a payment platform fast. ▪️ David B. Wang (CEO, krip HK) He’s redefining how people interact with coupons and promotions. With deep data insights and top-tier partnerships.
