He holds a master's and bachelor's degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan. In this episode we talk about startups, including Wala which he co-founded with Tricia Martinez. Wala is a financial platform, powered by the Dala Utility Token. It addresses the issues that prevent the world's under-served from accessing basic financial services by utilizing the most innovative tools available in the market today. Most of which is Dala, a blockchain-based cryptocurrency designed and launched by the Wala team. The service uses blockchain technology along with the Dala cryptocurrency to allow users to send money, earn rewards and apply for credit services through the platform. Wala is now live in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Uganda where actual users are earning rewards for using the network, making zero-fee, instant, and borderless peer-to-peer transfers, redeeming Dala for value-added services like airtime and data, and purchasing Dala using local fiat currencies. Thousands of underbanked users have already begun engaging with Dala and thousands more are joining the network everyday.

Tricia shares with us her reasons that led to her founding Wala and issuing Dala focused on Africa. She discusses her journeys within the African continent and why "Banking the Unbanked" in a conventional sense is actually - nonsense. The Unbanked population of the world don't need banks and can't deal with the traditional system. Is Blockchain the solution? Hear how Wala has grown to be the go-to solution for the people of Africa for fee-less value exchange. While MPesa started the payments revolution, the infrastructure created by them still has interoperability problems and high fees for transactions. Can Wala overcome those issues?

Tricia Martinez is Founder & CEO at Wala and Director at Dala Foundation. In this episode, Tricia explains how her research led her to use blockchain to encourage financial growth in emerging markets. The foundation Dala and company Wala are able to operate on a no-fee model and aid consumers and small business owners who are often left out of the current financial markets. Wala is a no-fee financial app for emerging markets, and Dala is a multi-chain open-source crypto asset. Wala is the first major contributor to Dala’s open source development, and the first open source application to allow the use of Dala for transactions and peer-to-peer transfers.   Tricia discovered that emerging parts of the world were hungry for a financial system that worked for users and small business owners. It may come as a surprise, but even in emerging countries, cell phones are quite popular, so the idea to use them for peer-to-peer transactions makes complete sense. Adoption has been extremely fast, providing even more evidence that there’s a demand for this type of service and that people can be empowered in a sometimes unbalanced economy.    Topics covered: -   Crypto in emerging markets. -   Financial challenges in emerging markets. -   Creating a system that’s fair, borderless, and geared towards ignnored consumers. -   Research findings on universal basic income. -   How Dala and Wala are have experience fast adoption and  growth. -   Why decentralization is key in creating financial support in a growing economy. -   Multi-chain cryptocurrencies. -   The relationship between Dala and Wala, and how they’re able to operate on a no-fee basis. -   What’s coming next for Dala and Wala.    Links: https://dala.org/ https://www.bitwala.com/ https://twitter.com/TriciaTita https://twitter.com/GetWala Telegram: t.me/getwala  

This week on the podcast, we talk with Tricia Martinez. She's the founder of Wala, a financial services app, and Dala, a cryptocurrency that goes with it. Based in Cape Town and currently operating in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, Wala enables people to send digital money -- Dala -- to family across borders, as well as borrow, make transactions, and save. Many of these consumers haven't had a formal bank account before, or they conduct their lives primarily in cash -- both of which pose challenges to financial freedom. Tricia and producer Meara Sharma discuss why banks have failed consumers in emerging markets, how cryptocurrency and blockchain are helping to reimagine financial systems, and more.

We chat to Tricia Martinez, the CEO/Founder of GetWala about Digital Currencies in Emerging Markets. 

Tricia Martinez, director of the Dala Foundation and founder and CEO of Wala, describes how cryptocurrency Dala is being used in Africa and how it hit 100,000 new wallets and 2.5 million in transactions in two months, with an average transaction size of around $0.27. She talks about how 94% of transactions in Africa are still being done in cash, why the problem she's trying to solve needs its own cryptocurrency and can't use bitcoin or ether, and how Wala's users are using Dala. Plus, she explains why she's focusing her entrepreneurial efforts in Africa and other emerging markets. Thank you to our sponsors!

Tricia Martinez, Founder and CEO of Wala and the Director of the Dala Foundation, joins Ben and Jay from Cape Town, South Africa to talk about why she's building a mobile crypto financial services platform for emerging markets. Tricia talks about her work in Africa to reduce banking fees and to increase financial services participation using Wala and the Dala token. She talks about the current state of banking in Africa, which is slow-moving and burdened with fees that have only served to foster mistrust with consumers. Tricia believes banks want to partner with crypto and blockchain companies in Africa. However it's difficult for them to work inside-out to fight bureaucracy and actually drive innovation and solutions. Currently, consumers in Africa are working outside of the banking system because of the fees (94% of transactions on the continent are in cash). Tricia discusses how Wala enables consumers to use their Dala cryptocurrency wallet to access a marketplace to purchase data, mobile airtime and electricity; pay their TV bills and school fees; make cross-border payments with no fees and much more. She talks about how Africans are using Wala and Dala to create unique business models including "microjobs" services, where people who are often unbanked can access quick tasks and easily get paid, and local utilities business platforms where agents use Wala to sell airtime and electricity. Wala is building out more than 100,000 merchant locations around Africa where consumers can use their mobile phone and a QR code to transact with Dala. Tricia reminds us of the importance of actually being on the ground in Africa to create change, and shares personal stories about disrupting financial services for people who would rather store their money in a lockbox than a bank -- due to fees. Whether its her local Uber driver in South Africa who wants to avoid the punitive fees of a Western Union (which can charge upwards of 10%-20% just to move money across borders), or Africans taking massive risks by giving bags of money to bus drivers to save an additional 3% when moving money across borders, it's clear that Tricia's personal connection with Africa is a driver for her work in the country.

My guests from #BlockChainWeek NYC continue. Tricia Martinez is apart of something pretty special at Wala. They have issued a CryptoCurrency called Dala to eliminate the fees and difficulties in certain countries when it comes to moving money. Check it out!

Asking previous guests how the blockchain could do good, the most common response is that it could empower the two thirds of the worlds with no access to financial systems. We cover SXSW and then go deep on how badly much of the world could use a better solution to existing currency models.

On tonight's episode of "The Crypto Show," our first guest is Tricia Martinez, a behavioral economist educated at the University of Chicago, who is the founder and CEO of Wala, a financial services platform for the unbanked and underbanked and those who rely on microtransactions, including microloans, in the third world. Our second guest is Doug Scribner, the founder of Watch My Bit. He comes on to talk about VaultLogic, which is a cash storage and transfer service that can be integrated into crypto-ATMs as well as into other financial services, the benefits of the combination of which are very promising though not necessarily immediately intuited except that Doug does an excellent job of describing and explaining a lot of the merits of this technology. Some cool stuff.

In this episode we explore social entrepreneurship with the Founder and CEO of Wala, a community-powered digital banking platform for underbanked consumers in emerging markets that’s recently gone through the Barclays accelerator program in London.
