🌟 Special thanks to HTwenty and Daniel Lloreda for inviting our Co-founder and CEO, Manuel J Godoy!! Watch this short video to hear their great and insightful conversation, where Manuel shares how Félix seeks to exemplify the power of understanding our audience, to foster familiarity and ensure reliability in every transaction. 💬 👥
Manuel J Godoy from Félix recently had a conversation with our co-founder, Daniel Lloreda, in which he shared some insights into how his company researched and found its niche. ⠀ Finding the right audience and understanding how to address it allowed Felix Pago to create an online payment platform that permits immigrants in the US to send remittances seamlessly to their families back home. ⠀ Understanding the critical role of trust in financial transactions, especially among the Latino community, Felix Pago then tapped into a need for more trustworthy digital financial services. ⠀ Traditionally, immigrants had to rely on in-person banks and remittance services, in which the human touch reassured them that their hard-earned money was going to reach their families safely. ✅ ⠀ Felix Pago set about replicating this trust digitally, transforming the way remittances are sent by integrating the WhatsApp "operating system" of daily communications in many immigrant communities. ⠀ Felix Pago have not only innovated a service that feels familiar and trustworthy but also enhanced user convenience and security. This service is pioneering for the U.S. market, particularly for the Mexican immigrant population. ⠀ This user-centric approach has already begun to show results, offering a clear, tech-driven solution to traditional transaction channels. ⠀ Watch the full discussion on YouTube and see how Felix Pago is setting a new standard in the paytech industry 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eJMTJdtB ⠀ #Fintech #Innovation #Startups #Remittances #FelixPago #PayTech #FinancialInclusion #Technology

Even with the growing demand for cross-border payments, sending money from the 🇺🇸US to Mexico and other countries in Latin America can still be frustrating, costly and slow due to high fees and delayed processing by banks and payment companies. 💡 But guess what? Félix found a smart solution to this problem using USDC, a stable digital currency that's tied to the US dollar. This not only speeds up the process but also decreases the costs for Félix's customers when transferring their funds. This all would not be possible without our incredible partners, like Circle!! 👏 Circle has been instrumental in providing the support needed to provide a better, faster and more human solution to our users. Want to dive deeper into how it all came together? Check out the recent Case Study Circle posted about it here: https://lnkd.in/gx48HPfu
