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. If you don't there will likely be serious consequences. What about bringing the power of technology to enable more flexibility in these situations? Our next guest on the Fintech One-on-One Podcast is Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins, she is the CEO and Co-Founder of Promise. They have a unique product that allows users to use almost any payment method to pay government bills. Need to pay your parking ticket by Venmo or your water bill by installments using Cash App? No problem. Promise is bringing the power of fintech to a huge but overlooked sector of the economy.

At LendIt Fintech LatAm I also chatted with Angela Strange, a general partner at the well-known venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Angela has become a prolific investor in Latin American fintech, as well as U.S. fintech, and so brings a unique perspective to the region. If you want to get some background on Angela's thoughts on Latin American fintech, she co-authored this paper earlier this year that laid out the case for the rapid growth of Latin American fintech.

At LendIt Fintech LatAm I chatted with Pierpaolo Barbieri, the CEO and founder of Ualá. I decided to turn this interview into a podcast because I think Ualá is becoming a really important company in the region. And it is a company we are going to continue to hear more from as they grow. Ualá started with a prepaid debit card in Argentina and in less than four years they have amassed almost 4 million customers, including 25% of the 18-25 year old population. They have recently expanded to Mexico and have become one of the fastest-growing companies in all of fintech.

The neobank space has really heated up the last couple of years. The leaders are getting real traction with millions of customers now and the rapid growth showing no signs of slowing down.
