On today’s episode, we talked to Ifelade Ayodele, CEO and Founder of Blaaiz, an early-stage cross-border payments company based in Canada and offering financial services and remittance payments to African countries.
The company is only five months in operations but has so far secured a $1.5M pre-seed investment round to fuel its expansion and innovation.
Before founding Blaaiz, Ifelade distinguished himself as a leader in the management consulting arena at Accenture UK.
We discussed regulation, challenges, technology, and competition in remittance payments in Africa and their plans for the future.
