EP27 P2P Payments Solutions - And Why This One Actually Works | Co-Founders of Ziina
Couchonomics with Arjun
The Story of Zina
Zina was founded by Andrew Capstone, a former employee of Coinbase. The pair met in the hackathon where they both built tools for blockchain technology. Zina is now selling its app on Apple's App Store and Google Play.
The Global P2P Payment Market Size accounted for USD 1,872 Billion in 2021 and is estimated to achieve a market size of USD 9,135 Billion by 2030.
The P2P payments market is a very fragmented market. Important players either acquire new rivals or combine with them. The others invest significant money in research and development initiatives. These initiatives lead to market growth for P2P payments and technological advancements, updates, and new P2P payment capabilities.
That is why, we are delighted, to present to you the conversation about the possibilities of P2P payments with Andrew Gold and Faisal Toukan, two-thirds of a trio that started Ziina, the UAE’s first peer-to-peer payment app.
Andrew is Co-Founder and Head of Engineering at Ziina with Apple and Coinbase on his belt as his previous emprises. Together with Faisal Toukan, Co-Founder & CEO at Ziina, they explained why they believe that their model of P2P payments, which focused on the social component is a winning formula.
Faisal provided for us, in this episode of Couchonomics, his overview of the MENA ecosystem and p2p players that are here to stay.
Jump in and get to know:
