When you think of cutting edge fintech you probably don't think about the Caribbean. But some interesting developments are happening there that we should all be paying attention to. On this episode of the Fintech One-on-One podcast, I talk with Curt Persaud, the Co-founder and CTO of Fintech Islands and Andrew B. Morris, the Chief Content Officer at Fintech Islands. This is the biggest fintech event in the Caribbean and it is happening next week (January 24-26) in Barbados. I will be there along with many other U.S. and Caribbean fintech leaders. The Caribbean is an under-appreciated region, it is in our backyard with more people (45 million) than Canada. There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a thriving fintech industry there already, that is poised to grow significantly in the near future. In this podcast you will learn: The founding story of Fintech Islands.Why Americans should care about Caribbean fintech.The important fintech trends in the region.Details about the Fintech Islands event.The different topics being covered on their agenda.How their startup competition will work.How people can engage with Caribbean fintech beyond the event.Connect with Andrew B.
