Hi FinTech Connector Community👋,
thanks Angel Lorente for the invitation and happy to become part of this interesting community.
As a quick intro, I'm Johannes, living and working between Marbella, London, Zürich and my little hometown in Austria. I'm working since more than 20 years in the intersection of financial markets, alternative investments and technology.

Our end-to-end solution allows native on-chain loan origination, securitization and tokenization, primary issuance and secondary market trading, as well as on-chain fund set-up and management.
I'm also co-founder of CROPR (www.cropr.finance) a DeFi portfolio management tool, which makes crypto investing and DeFi portfolio management easy and powerful. It allows you to connect all your wallets across chains to connect and view all your assets in a professional dashboard, create personal or copy portfolios other can copy-invest, directly stake and deposit tokens in staking pools, lending opportunities, AMM liquidity pools, strategy vaults and other (copy) portfolios, and to constantly track performance and rewards.

Welcome to FinTech Connector. Thanks for the mention.
The importance of the Banking and payment strategy
A well-rounded banking and payment strategy is crucial for businesses, going beyond just managing transactions and calculating fees. It's important to also consider risk management, compliance, technology, user experience, and data security, among other things. Some think that payment orchestration is the strategy itself, but that's not the case. While payment orchestration is helpful, it often oversimplifies financial processes by neglecting these important factors. To fully support business growth and address all aspects of payment and banking processes, a broader, organization-wide strategy is necessary.

Another powerful report from FIS on global payments. This is a 156-report that gives you global payments trends, key insights, and other important ecosystem information.
The payments space continues to evolve with super apps, CBDCs, embedded finance, evolution of real-time payments, banking the unbanked, and more...
Check out the report and use it as a reference guide for what's happening and what's coming in payments.
I want to thank Ahmed Refaie Abdo from DSRPTD in the UAE for sharing it with me.
What are your thoughts? Steven Wasserman, Mario Cohen, Jaroslaw Sarwa, Angel Lorente, Carlos M. Mendes , Fabian Lehner , Elena Kozhemyakina , Jaroslaw Sarwa , Adam Ull , Sefa Bicer , Shafique Ibrahim
