TerraPay: How Digital Mobility Aided by Fintechs Can Foster Financial Inclusion and Empowerment

Whether it be digital wallets or lowering the price of remittance, Ambar Sur , Founder and CEO at TerraPay explains how digital mobility aid by fintechs can foster financial inclusion and empowerment. With over two decades of rich experience in telecom and mobile payments, Sur possesses a sound understanding of the industry, voluminous knowledge of technology, and a keen eye for market and business drivers, — a combination that has helped him lead the organisation to capitalise on the emerging African markets, create a strong foundation in some major European countries, and enter into the Asian market. Before founding TerraPay, Sur worked at Comviva Technologies Ltd. for over 13 years. He had joined Comviva as Chief Marketing Officer in 2002. When he parted ways from the organisation, he had been serving as a Wholetime Director and Sr. Vice President for about six years. There is no doubt that Fintech companies have accelerated the pace of digital mobility adoption, thereby paving the way for financial inclusion and independence, globally. Come to think of it, there are several countries around the world where individuals and small businesses or merchants do not have adequate or affordable access to traditional cross border payment channels
