Qenta, a global payments company, has announced the acquisition of Pipit Global, a B2B cross-border payments platform operating in over 45 countries. Pipit brings Qenta an international compliant network of over 1 million pay-in points and deep integrations with mobile money systems across Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Ollie Walsh, Co-Founder of Pipit, has been appointed President of Qenta and will lead the platform's expansion. Qenta will add Pipit's infrastructure to its own to accelerate access to cash, mobile money, and compliant digital payments internationally. Qenta specialises in serving remittance networks and migrant communities, facilitating cash, mobile money, alternative payment methods (APMs), and bank transactions in over 45 countries. By integrating regional payment infrastructures with blockchain technology, Qenta is expanding its reach and enabling businesses and individuals to send and receive funds quickly, securely, and cost-effectively. "Cross border payments have long been far too expensive, slow, and inaccessible, particularly for migrants or those without banking services," said Ollie Walsh, President of Qenta. "We saw clear alignment between our thesis of financial inclusion and the mission of Brent de Jong and Qenta. Together, we are delivering the financial services that people need, without sacrificing crucial security, compliance, or transparency standards." Walsh's vision was sparked by his own frustrations navigating remittance systems after relocating from Ireland to England. Under his leadership, Pipit evolved into a universal network of more than 1 million pay-in points and 300 million mobile money accounts, all while maintaining rigorous compliance and fraud prevention protocols. He joins Qenta alongside four other key team members, including Pipit co-founder and CTO Rory Ryan. "Payments keep us internationally connected, and ensuring these networks are efficient, accessible, and secure is paramount to our work at Qenta," said Brent de Jong, Chairman of Qenta. "This acquisition accelerates our vision of building an inclusive, blockchain-powered financial ecosystem that works for everyone, from those with minimal bank access to multinational enterprises. The Pipit team brings the experience and values that align with Qenta's global ambitions of building a resilient worldwide infrastructure." With these enhanced cash and remittance capabilities, Qenta is poised to lead the next chapter in global financial inclusion - bringing efficient tools to help people and regions leapfrog ahead and leave behind their legacy systems. The acquisition of Pipit and rebrand to Qenta under the leadership of Brent de Jong is the first step in the company's mission to build a next-generation financial technology platform designed to bridge traditional financial infrastructure with blockchain and AI.

February 28, 2024 - Navigating the uncertainties of quitting an established career to venture into entrepreneurship is a common challenge for many aspiring startup founders. The question of when to take that leap adds another layer of complexity to the journey. To shed light on these dilemmas, we invite you to join our conversation with Curtis Lee, a seasoned startup founder, currently serving as the VP of Global Payments and Cash at Microsoft. Curtis embarked on his entrepreneurial path by founding Luxe, a premium valet and auto-concierge system, in 2013. After Luxe's successful acquisition to Volvo Group, Curtis returned to the entrepreneurial arena with the launch of Pinwheel, a fintech specializing in payroll API, in 2021. During this discussion, Curtis will share the intricacies of how he charted his entrepreneurial path, strategically navigating tech giants, startups, and investment firms, to fulfill his aspirations. Additionally, Curtis will impart how his firsthand founding experience has transformed him into a more emphatic investor, particularly for early-stage startups in their foundational phases.
