OnYield o Pago Al Toque investigaron cómo las tarjetas NFC, las tarjetas de identificación de estudiante y los teléfonos Android estándar podrían permitir pagos mediante contacto y sonido diseñados para personas con discapacidad visual.

1/ La financiación inmobiliaria al estilo colombiano 🇨🇴 Te presentamos WAVA.
Wava, nuestra más reciente beneficiaria del programa Open Payments Accelerator, se centra en lo que los bancos tradicionales han dejado de lado: las transacciones pequeñas y de bajo volumen que impulsan el comercio cotidiano en toda Latinoamérica👇

1/ Building finance the Colombian way 🇨🇴 Meet WAVA.
Wava, our newest Open Payments Accelerator grantee, is building for what traditional banks left behind: the small, low-volume transactions that power everyday commerce across Latin America👇
2/ Según Carlos Agudelo director general de WAVA, los instrumentos financieros actuales son capaces de gestionar grandes volúmenes de dinero, pero no las pequeñas transacciones.
Cuando hay una empresa fintech que va a lanzarse en áreas específicas, puede apoyar al pequeño negocio de la esquina, a la tienda familiar. Ese no es el principal interés de los bancos. Son capaces de gestionar grandes volúmenes de dinero, pero no las pequeñas transacciones. Esa es una de las razones por las que productos como @Nequi o @DaviPlata crecieron tanto en Colombia.
----
According to WAVA’s CEO Carlos Agudelo today’s financial instruments are able to manage massive volumes of money, but not the little transactions.
"When you have a fintech company that is going to launch in specific areas, it can support the little business on the corner, the mom and pop store. That is not the main interest of the banks. They are able to manage massive volumes of money, but not the little transactions. That is one of the reasons why products like Nequi or Daviplata grew so much in Colombia."
