Fintech Chatter: Conversations with Fintech CEOs and Founders 146: Monoova | Christian Westerlind Wigstrom
Dexter Cousins is joined by Christian Westland Wigstrom of Monoova for episode 146 of the Fintech Chatter podcast.
Dexter and Christian first connected in 2018 when Christian did a presentation on the future of Payments title The Death of Payments 2030. Christian presented a day in the life of a woman named May to predict how payments will have changed by 2030. Christian argued that while payments would not die, paying would.
5 years on Dexter invites Christian to share an update and discuss if any of his predictions are coming true. Or has he changed his mind?
