In this episode, Nader Abdelrazik—founder of MoneyHash—shares how he navigated life during the Arab Spring, was motivated to become an economist, and ultimately built a fintech startup. Nader discusses the unique challenges of the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, from buyer and investor skepticism (aka the “foreigner complex”) to regulatory uncertainty. He outlines how payment orchestration can pave the way for better financial inclusion and economic advancement.
