Payout

What were the key takeaways from our panel discussion in Warsaw? 🎤 It was an exciting opportunity to dive deep into how fintech is reshaping the payments landscape in the gaming industry. We didn’t just talk about payments – we also explored the critical legal and regulatory aspects that impact gaming companies today. At Payout we shared our approach as a money automation platform built specifically for the gaming industry. Our real-time deposit and withdrawal processes help operators and players focus on the experience while we ensure secure, seamless transactions behind the scenes. One of the most interesting points was how AI and automation are shaping the future of cross-border payments, enhancing security and efficiency. The discussion highlighted the need for local compliance, flexible payment solutions, and leveraging new technologies to stay ahead. It was an insightful conversation, and I’m looking forward to seeing how these trends will continue to evolve in gaming fintech. A big thank you to my fellow panelists for the great discussion - Tatjana Meluškāne, Dana Lihotina and Aleksandra Ossowska, PhD! 🤝 And Zoltán Tűndik - a huge congratulations on an incredible event! It's been a long time since I've experienced such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Is e-commerce really without borders? 🌍 That’s something Upterdam – Najväčšia e-commerce konferencia a expo na Slovensku 2024 explored in depth, and I had the chance to experience it from a different perspective this year. Last year, I was there as an exhibitor in the expo zone, but this time I attended as a participant, and I have to say, I truly enjoyed it. With over 800 e-commerce enthusiasts gathered in Senec, it was an inspiring and insightful event. Here are a few key takeaways that stood out to me: 👉 MTBIKER / Tomas Cervenka shared how building a strong community even before launching your e-shop can make a huge difference. 👉 Wolt Delivery is reshaping consumer expectations — home delivery is becoming more of a premium service, while packet boxes are quickly becoming the norm. Packeta Slovakia, for instance, already operates over 1,800 Z-Boxes across Slovakia. 👉 PUELLA / Martin Švenk continues its impressive expansion into 3 new countries each year, generating annual sales of around 20 million EUR. 👉 Marketplaces like Temu are exploding, with users spending an average of 18 minutes a day on the app. For Slovak e-shops, finding specific niches is the key to competing. Dajana Rodriguez and her team nailed it with their stellar marketing, especially in their approach to newsletters. Big thanks to Radúz Bevelaqua, Filip Pleva & Martin Macík for the inspiring conversations. And thanks to Jakub Jarabica and the entire team for the fantastic organization! I’m already looking forward to seeing what Upterdam 2025 has in store for us. 💪

I attended the Seamless Europe conference, and it was a treasure trove of innovative ideas. The thought-provoking forums, combined with a dynamic mix of networking and cutting-edge product showcases, truly broadened my perspective on the market. Panagiotis Kriaris delivered a powerful keynote on “From Open Banking to Open Finance,” emphasizing how FIDA, part of the Digital Finance Strategy, and PSD3 are modernizing the financial sector by streamlining and securing data sharing, thus advancing Europe towards open finance and enhancing customer control and choice over their financial data. A straightforward example of this is InsurTech, where a Third-Party Provider (TPP) analyzes SME data to identify gaps in insurance coverage, offers customized policy options, and even manages the transition to a new insurance plan by canceling the old one. Looking forward to seeing everyone next year! 👋

See you at Seamless Europe 👋🏻

Ever found yourself surrounded by over a hundred of the most influential figures in the financial and payments industry in the heart of Oradea? 🇷🇴 This was my second time at the UNCHAIN Festival, and it was even more phenomenal than the first. The third year of Unchain brought a wealth of inspiration, knowledge, partnerships, and some truly amazing people from the CEE region. It’s where the global fintech community converges to make the digital personal. Kudos to UNCHAIN Festival and Cosmin Cosma for such an incredible event! Looking forward to next year with great anticipation. 🗓️

The UNCHAIN Festival lived up to its promise, bringing together top fintech leaders from CEE for two days of exclusive networking.  It’s all about DETAILS. Here are 4 of my favorites at Unchain Festival: 👉 Panel on Cross-border Payments, where I had the opportunity to present the views of fintech. Presented fintech’s role in SMEs adopting these solutions for efficient, cost-effective international transactions. These platforms enhance financial capabilities, improve currency management, and leverage technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrencies for future transformations. Thank you for the insightful discussion Agnieszka Bryszewska, Jacob Claflin and Eliad Saporta. 👉 Payout has emerged as one of the top 5 fintech startups in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region, distinguished by its innovative money automation platform. Our platform is designed to streamline and simplify financial processes for SMEs. 👉 Great panel featuring Dejan Davidovic discussing digital assets, CBDCs, and stablecoins. It will be interesting to watch the controversial debate around the Digital Euro, including arguments for customer demand, concerns over high implementation costs for banks lacking viable business models, and the mixed perceptions among merchants on its necessity. 👉 I favor small events that facilitate open conversations and personal connections. Even though the temperatures were high, it was easy to get around, meet people, and engage in meaningful discussions. Thank you for the great discussion Bogdan Rus, Emmett King, Michal Šejba, Daniel Rajnoch, Juraj Kralik, Martin Bodocky and many others.  I’d love to hear your thoughts! Congratulations to the whole Unchain festival team Cosmin Cosma and Mădălina Sumedrea - it was once again amazing. See ya next year.  👋

The end of June will be momentous 🚀 I’m excited to announce that I will be joining a panel discussion on the future of cross-border payments, hosted by UNCHAIN Festival. As global payment flows are set to reach $250 trillion by 2027, we’ll explore how new technologies, regulatory changes, and evolving client expectations are transforming the industry. From my side, the key discussion points will include: 👉 The role of digital assets, AI, and smart contracts. 👉 The shift from traditional methods to API connectivity. 👉 The impact of open banking and increased competition from FinTechs. 👉 Client priorities: speed, cost efficiency, and transparency. I have some more great news – I’ll be presenting our Payout solution at the Innovation Stage! Thank you for the invitation, Mădălina Sumedrea. After two years, I’m excited to once again be a part of the Unchain Festival. #CrossBorderPayments #FinTech #Innovation
