Fintech One-On-One

For digital assets like bitcoin to go truly mainstream they need to have onramps through banks. People trust banks with their money and if their own bank is offering crypto trading in a seamless way many more millions of people will join the crypto revolution. But for banks to be able to offer this they need sophisticated infrastructure, which is where our guest today comes in. Our next guest on t...

One of the many benefits that fintech has brought is the democratization of investing. What initially attracted me to fintech was the ability to invest in consumer loans through LendingClub, an asset class previously unavailable to individual investors. Another asset class that has been unavailable to regular investors is collectibles. Want to invest in a classic car, rare baseball cards, books, c...

The auto finance market is such a unique space. In some ways it has a lot in common with home finance, it is an asset-backed loan after all, but it also seems to be a far less mature market when it comes to fintech disruption. That is starting to change, thankfully, because there are likely tens of millions of people who are overpaying for their auto loans today. My next guest on the Fintech One-o...

Embedded finance is one of those fintech terms that gets thrown around a lot.

If you receive a parking ticket or are late on a utility bill your options as a consumer are pretty limited. You need to go to the website and pay or send a check in the mail by the due date.

At LendIt Fintech LatAm I chatted with Pierpaolo Barbieri, the CEO and founder of Ualá.

We have a problem in this country. For the most part, money moves around slowly, at much the same speed as when we had a paper-based payments system decades ago.
