Overview

Join Council of the Americas to hear from top business leaders who will discuss the opportunities that fintech and the technological transformation of money provide for a growingly digital Latin America as it responds to and recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The fintech industry, which was rapidly evolving and becoming a leading contributor to the region’s development and stability, is quickly emerging as a key player in Latin America's post-pandemic reconstruction. Although online transactions in the region have risen and evolved, they have yet to reach the large unbanked and underbanked population where just 54 percent of adults have a bank account.

Speakers:

  • David Arana, Founder & CEO, Konfio
  • Osvaldo Gimenez, CEO, MercadoPago; EVP, MercadoLibre
  • Federico Gomez Schumacher, General Manager, Latin America, PayPal
  • Kiki del Valle, Senior Vice President of Digital Partnerships, Latin America, Mastercard
  • Irene Arias Hofman, CEO, IDB Lab (moderator)

This panel is part of the 2020 COA Symposium and BRAVO Virtual Series: Leadership and Transformation in Times of Crisis. The series addresses the unprecedented challenges brought globally and regionally by the pandemic, as well as the various responses across sectors and stakeholders in order to reshape the post COVID-19 world.
