    Why Finance Keeps Solving the Wrong Problems — And How That’s Changing

    For years, the financial technology sector has operated at the bleeding edge of innovation — from embedded finance to stablecoins and AI. But product strategist and fintech thought leader Jas Shah argues that in the rush to adopt new technologies, it can be easy to lose sight of the human problems we’re trying to solve. As the founder of Bitsul and the voice behind the popular Fintech: Under the Hood newsletter, Jas helps companies bridge the gap between complex code and genuine customer needs. In this episode, Jas explains how his consulting work gets him up close to the real-world friction facing small businesses and migrant workers. We discuss why the West's focus on stablecoins often misses the point, how AI should be harnessed for intent rather than hype, and why the best financial technology is the kind the user never even notices.

    Why Small Businesses Get the Worst Financial Services — And How That’s Finally Changing

    The financial system operates on a paradox: the biggest companies get the best rates and fastest service, while the real economy—the painters, carpenters, and small suppliers—pay more for a poorer service. With a background in humanitarian aid and finance, Stable Sea founder Tanner Taddeo is using digital assets to fix this. In this episode, Tanner explains how he is bringing Wall Street services to Main Street, and why the future of the US dollar depends on winning the shadow race for digital currency.

    Why Money Gets Lost in Translation — And How Global Payments Are Fixing It

    For decades, the global financial system has been a Tower of Babel, with banks, wallets, and blockchains each speaking their own language, unable to work together efficiently. This fragmentation has caused massive inefficiencies, trapping billions of dollars in dead money and excluding billions of people from the global economy. Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO of Thunes, is building a universal translator to fix this. In this episode, Chloé discusses the rise of the mobile-first economy, why stablecoins are the key to 24/7 liquidity, and how strict compliance became her competitive advantage in building a network that reaches 7 billion endpoints.

    Why It’s Easier to Pay Than Get Paid — And How That’s Changing

    For decades, the global financial infrastructure was designed as a one-way street: excellent at collecting money from consumers, but slow and inefficient at giving it back. Rodney Robinson, a 40-year veteran of the payments industry, recognized that for the digital economy to work, money needed a reverse gear. In this episode, Rodney discusses why legacy institutions didn’t share his vision, how TabaPay is now the invisible plumbing for the apps we all use, and why democratizing instant money movement is the key to preventing debt cycles for millions of Americans. 00:00 Welcome to Money Travels: The Push and Pull Problem 01:15 Lightning Round: 40 Years of Payments Wisdom 04:40 The Asymmetry of Money Movement: Pull vs Push 07:11 Solving the Impossible: Building Two-Way Instant Payments 08:22 The Invisible Infrastructure Powering Your Favorite Apps 11:12 The New Normal: Speed as a Consumer Expectation 11:49 From Corporate Rejection to Entrepreneurial Success 15:28 Flip Phones and Failed Experiments: Learning from Mobile Payment History 17:10 Breaking the Debt Trap: The Real Impact of Instant Payments 20:42 The FinTech-Bank Clash and the Future of Payments Learn more about Visa Direct: visa.com/visadirect Connect with Visa Direct on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/visa-direct/ Disclaimers: Visa Direct capability is enabled through a financial institution partner.

    When Stablecoins Meet Africa: What the World Is Missing

    Money Travels Podcast Season 4, Episode 1 With the global financial system often failing to serve emerging markets, Chris Maurice, CEO and Co-Founder of Yellow Card, has built an innovative solution from the ground up. What started as a personal mission to solve crippling remittance fees evolved into Africa's leading stablecoin infrastructure, facilitating billions in commerce. In this episode, Chris dives into his founder journey—from selling Pokémon cards to flying into Lagos on a six-day-old passport—and explains how Yellow Card leveraged stablecoins to solve Africa’s payments problems. We’ll discuss his work with governments to build regulatory clarity, his vision for using stablecoins to strengthen the global dollar system, and how this new financial infrastructure is laying the foundation for an equitable and connected global economy.

    How Aavance Is Driving Financial Inclusion for Migrants in Latin America with Digital Wallets

    With 7.7 million Venezuelan refugees globally and 2.9 million in Colombia alone, the challenge of distributing humanitarian aid effectively is huge. Using cash is slow and risky, and lacks transparency, raising problems for NGOs and migrants alike. In this episode, we’re joined by the team from AAvance, a fintech working with Visa to tackle this problem head-on. We’ll explore how their digital wallet is replacing insecure cash with prepaid cards, giving dignity and financial freedom to migrants. We’ll hear the human stories behind AAvance’s work, and learn how it’s creating a pathway to economic independence for migrants across Colombia. And we’ll discover just why it matters so much to AAvance’s founders themselves John Herreño and Magreth Gutierrez Vargas.
