It is no secret that women are still underrepresented in tech & finance. The European Women Payments Network (EWPN) is the first & only Pan-European network/community that is dedicated to bring together women from all EU/EEA member states, working in cards, fintech & payments. This week, the EWPN held their annual conference and I was there to speak with Catherine Wines, who is a passionate member of the European Women Payment network. She does a lot of mentoring and, as a founder of a startup of 700 people (!) and $6 billion remittance revenue, she supports women all over the world.

She explains how the business of $600 billion, remittance transfers, works. What do you need to do to execute a payment P2P from developed countries to the rest of the world? Amazing how complex it is and how much compliance and regulations drives up the price? 4-5% is their competitive price and they do not make a profit. What needs to be done to conquer market share Western Union or MoneyGram?
