Leveraging CRYPTOCURRENCY TO
SPEED UP CROSS-BORDER PAYMENTS
Wole Ayodele is an entrepreneur on a roll. Wole is classically trained as an engineer but began his career in marketing. It’s a chance to shift into banking, however, that helped Wole find his passion for finance. He is on his SECOND fintech startup with Fliqpay, a company that uses cryptocurrency infrastructure to help businesses send and receive payments globally. The Fliqpay platform cuts transaction time from days to minutes which is significant when their clients are waiting for payments to settle. With Fliqpay, literally time is money!
