Welcome to Money Travels season 2 where we explore money movement around the globe. Some of us are bitten by the travel bug and can't get enough of the adventures and new experiences that being on the move provides.

That's where fintech company and Visa direct partner, Brightwell comes in. Their innovations and cross-border payments have been a game changer for the industry.

Welcome to Money Travels presented by Visa. In this episode, we're going to learn about remittances in different parts of the world. We are joined by Jairo Riveros, managing director for The Americas and global head of strategy at Paysend, a global fintech company, and Lucciana Alvarez Ruiz to discuss financial inclusion. For some of us it feels pretty seamless and easy to send and receive money, but for others, especially people who don't have a traditional bank account, it can feel impossible to exchange money across large distances. How is someone from a small town in Guatemala who is paid in the currency of another country supposed to send money back to their family if their loved ones don't have access to a bank? Often the solutions are costly, slow, and sometimes even dangerous if you have to physically carry cash for miles. But if you can access the internet from wherever you are, why can't you just move your money digitally?  We'll explore the differences between regions from Eastern Europe to Latin America and get a sense of the remittances landscape and how money movement can become more inclusive.

Welcome to Money Travels Season 2, Episode 3. Fast money movement requires fast security. As money moves more and more quickly, the technical challenges to secure the transactions grow for all parties involved. We have to predict behavior and aim to stop fraud before it happens, often with the help of AI, but you need a pretty big data set to make accurate predictions and to track trends in fraud behavior. That's where Visa Direct's network can come in and it's long history of transactions coupled with decades of developing AI tools that can check, monitor, and protect money movement.To get a sense of how AI is used today in money movement, we're going to talk to Michael Jabbara, Vice President, Global Head of Fraud Services at Visa, Dr. Anjana Susarla, who's a professor of responsible AI at Michigan State University, and Clara Durodié, an AI strategy specialist and author of Decoding AI in Financial Services.
