Could understanding the intricate balance of management, coding, and legal expertise be the key to fintech success?

Robert opens up about his unique approach to juggling multiple roles and companies, sharing invaluable insights into time management and the critical importance of legal knowledge in business. We also get a glimpse into Robert’s personal life and educational background, revealing the man behind the successful fintech entrepreneur.
Building an international company is no small feat, but Robert's strategic vision makes it seem achievable. He discusses the importance of hiring English-speaking employees for seamless communication across borders and the thoughtful selection of technology stacks based on available talent. Navigating international regulations and compliance is no easy task, but Robert shares his experiences and the lessons learned from expanding Paynovate across different jurisdictions. Additionally, we introduce PenoVate, another innovative electronic money institution from Brussels, and delve into its unique services and regulatory framework.
The future of payments is here, and Robert provides a forward-thinking perspective on trends like de-risking, instant payments, and the transition from cash to digital money accelerated by COVID-19. He explains how Paynovate caters to underserved sectors such as gambling and non-profit organizations, offering specialized financial solutions that traditional banks often overlook. We discuss the role of technology and innovation in these evolving services and the challenges of interoperability in international payments. Robert closes with insights on the potential of stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to address these issues, leaving listeners with a provocative look at what's next for the fintech industry.
