His Brilliant Idea to Change Global Payments

In March 2020, as the world braced for a global pandemic, Jaco Veldsman gave up his comfortable career in finance to go it alone with the launch of Paytron, the cross-border payments platform. Three years later, Paytron’s mission to transform global payments for its customers was turbo-charged with the company’s acquisition by global payments powerhouse OFX. Now Global Head of Non-FX Revenue at OFX, today’s guest Jaco shares his motivations for striking out alone, the customer challenges he’s working to solve, and how his thirst for innovation and desire to simplify payments for all still drive him to this day.
