The future of payments won’t be card-swiped or cash-counted — it’ll be fast, digital, and deeply integrated.
In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Floris de Kort, CEO of Thunes, joins to unpack what it really takes to build a global payments network across 130+ markets, from wallets to banks to mobile rails.
What’s inside:
- Why real-time payments still face real-world friction
- How Thunes is turning compliance into a competitive edge
- The rise of B2B payouts — and why corporates are driving the volume
- Why MENA is now a proving ground for wallet innovation
- The growing role of stablecoins in global finance
If you're building in fintech, infrastructure, or cross-border payments, this one’s essential listening.
