On today’s show, our guest is Osama Bedier. Osama is the founder and CEO of Poynt, the open commerce platform empowering merchants to transform and grow their businesses. Osama has spent the last two decades pioneering consumer internet, e-commerce and payments services. Prior to founding Poynt, Osama served as the Vice President of Payments at Google, and head of Google Wallet.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

How has Paypal influenced Fintech?
What are the benefits of being “banked” versus not being “banked”?
With the switch to digital currency, where are the opportunities and who will benefit?
What should merchants be able to do with this kind of technology?

We would like to give a special thanks to Alan Tien who made the introduction to Osama. Without Alan “Money Never Sleeps,” we would not have been able to conduct this amazing interview.
