Accelerating BNPL in Spain, with Jaime Marin Merlo (Fiizy)

Is this another BNPL episode? Of course, it is.But what can I say, the world seems to have an unquenchable thirst for the model right now 😁Plus, this one is a little different as I’m now speaking to a BNPL provider, but rather to Jaime Marín Merlo of Fiizy, an Estonian fintech that focuses on bringing lenders and merchants into that BNPL boom.Jaime is the director of business development for Fiizy’s Spanish ambitions, but we touch on the LATAM market too. We talk about the limits of the Spanish data environment; we talk about the new customer niches BNPL is opening up; and we talk about the win-win-win situation that can arise for lenders, consumers, and merchants alike when the model is well-implemented; but we also talk about what can go wrong if it isn't.You can learn more about Fiizy at their websiteYou can contact Jaime via his LinkedIn page or by emailing him at jaime.marin.merlo@fiizy.comYou can find out more about me on my LinkedIn page, hereIf you have any feedback, questions, or if you would like to participate in the show, please feel free to reach out to me at brendan@howtolendmoneytostrangers.showA full written transcript with timestamps can be found on HowtoLendMoneytoStrangers.Show Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

A podcast about lending in all its forms and in all the markets in which it takes place, however diverse those markets may be. In fact, it’s a case of ‘the more diverse the better’ with guests from New York to New Zealand, talking about everything from crypto-backed mortgages to crowd-funded loans for refugees. I am the host, Brendan le Grange, and I have spent the last twenty years working in - or alongside - lenders across Africa, Asia, and Europe and I’ll be using that experience to find and learn from industry insiders in a series of weekly interviews. Sometimes, those interviews discuss the inspiration behind a new start-up, sometimes they look back at a career spent at the lending coal face, and sometimes they explore where the latest technologies might take us. In the end, if it shapes a lending decision, we’ll talk about how. You can join us every Thursday here, or wherever you prefer to find your podcasts.
