Special Episode – Breaking Payments Kick-Off

Payments are cool again. The renewed interest in payment technologies made us launch a new spin-off of Breaking Banks Europe focused on the payment ecosystem, “Breaking Payments”.
Today is the first edition of Breaking Payments hosted by Matteo Rizzi and four great guests: James Allum (Payoneer), Tamer El-Emary (Thunes), Keith Grose (Plaid) and James Booth (PPRO).
Payment is one of the pillars of our economies, innovations like real-time payments, according to our guest Tamer El-Emary, drive economic growth, create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and boost financial inclusion. That’s why we need to talk about payments.
We hope you’ll find this new point of view interesting and to enjoy this first episode
