Latin America has always been fertile ground for fintech innovation and growth. Combining a young, tech-savvy population and a relative under-penetration of financial services you may see in other developed markets, there is plenty of opportunity for startups to feast on.
My guest today is Thiago Iglesias, head of Torq Ventures, who took over the unit this year after payments solutions developer Evertec – where he had been senior innovation manager – acquired financial technology company Sinqia, which had been Torq’s parent company.
Torq backs startups across financial technologies, including risk/fraud, payments, blockchain, AI, data aggregation and more.
