726. Focus: Can APAC’s travel sector spur on its financial services?

Our expert host, David M. Brear, is joined by some great guests for this latest edition of Fintech insider Focus!

In the latest strand of Fintech Insider, in association with Visa, we’re taking a burning question from financial services across the globe and really putting it under the microscope with explainers, expert panels, and in-depth interviews – all to bring the global community into focus.

In this episode, we're looking at how lockdowns impacted the Asia Pacific's travel sector, how fintechs pivoted during that time, and how things look as the region is opening up again.

This week's guests include:

• Matthew Wood, Head of Digital and Fintech Partnerships, Asia Pacific, Visa
• Caecilia Chu, Co-Founder and CEO, YouTrip
• Matt Baxby, Australia and APAC Lead, Revolut
