In this episode of PayTechTalk I talk to a very interesting young entrepreneur and visionary, Nitish Kannan, CEO and co-founder of Circle Plus Payments, a software development company that enables users to accept credit cards and bitcoin transactions on their smartphones without any further hardware needed.

They have partnered with well-known players such as Stripe and SumUp, a Berlin-based FinTech company that provides a mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) solution. And talking to him, the vision of a cashless economy seems within reach…

A cashless economy – vision or dream?

Nitish tells us more about his vision of a cashless economy and why he believes that thinking big is the right approach to growing your business and to tackling real world problems.

Nitish also tells us more about Circle Plus Payments’ bitcoin feature, which is really cool, and the Wallet Payable app.

So sit back, relax and enjoy PayTechTalk 19!
