Businesses, whether Series A or Series C, should always focus on what problems they want to solve when developing products. Real-time payments and global connectivity are rapidly becoming the standard for businesses and consumers, making the shared goal for fintechs and financial institutions to facilitate new-age payments and bring payment models to scale.

In the FF Salon, we are joined by James Winter, the SVP of Europe at Thunes, a global real-time payment network and infrastructure builder. Thunes is a network for emerging markets around the world, and are working to make cross-border payments for all individuals a faster and more secure process.

“I like solving problems, I like being a part of solving things, rolling my sleeves up and getting on with things”

James Winter, Thunes

“Payments never sleep,” Winter proclaims. “I like solving problems, I like being a part of solving things, rolling my sleeves up and getting on with things. The size of the company that we are is not just about being a function expert, it’s about ‘right this needs doing, I wish we had a team to do it, and if we don’t, we can do it from anywhere.”

Thunes’ ethos is a direct reaction to the urgency around real-time cross-border payments. Whether financial services providers are managing B2B, B2C, or even C2B (consumer to business) payments around the world, the technology needed to action those transactions is in demand now from customers. The main challenge for institutions is partnering with companies that can support this transition, and compressing the time it takes from the moment the deal is made, to being able to offer these services.
