PIX: Brazil's Instant Payments Breakthrough

About this episode:

It's here! We did it! Our 1,000th show is now yours. 🎉

That’s right - 1,000 episodes of diving deep into the trends, challenges, and characters that make fintech one of the most exciting industries on the planet. From our very first recording back in 2016 to now, it's been an incredible journey - and we couldn’t have done it without our amazing community.

To mark this milestone, Fintech Insiders David M. Brear, Laura Watkins, Kate Moody, and David Barton-Grimley come together to reflect on the biggest fintech moments of the past nine years - the ones that shaped the show, defined financial services, and made us who we are.

Expect nostalgia, big opinions, behind-the-scenes stories, and maybe even a few surprises…

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Reflections from our earliest contributors and legendary hosts

• Top fintech moments from the past 9 years

• Thoughts on what’s next for the industry - and for Fintech Insider

Whether you've listened to all 999 episodes or you're just joining us, this one’s for you.
