Welcome to The Fintech Founder Journey, where we explore great FinTech products, businesses, and leaders.I’m your host Mike Scott and I'm also the Co-Founder and CEO of Nona Digital, an expert firm that accelerates product development for FinTech & Blockchain scaleups.In today's show, I’m joined by Duncan Currie, country manager for the Australian (AUS) and New Zealand (NZ) regions for Marqeta and we’ll be talking about his journey in the card-issuing space both on the Marqeta side and on the customer side.__________________________________Today my guest is Duncan Currie who has been working in Financial service and Fintech for a very long time.Duncan has had a very deep career in this space, working at senior levels for companies like Visa, ANZ Bank, the NAB, and Crypto.com to name a few. A massive depth of knowledge in the card space has led Duncan to his current role as Country Manager of Marqeta for the AUS and NZ regions. For those you listening that might not know Marqeta, they are a massively successful Fintech company that focuses on the modern card issuing platforms and infrastructure to help companies build and manage payment programs. Duncan has also got some entrepreneurial DNA in him as he has founded and run a good few businesses too, some unrelated to Fintech.Duncan is seriously experienced in financial services and Fintech and more importantly, a really nice guy.__________________________________Today’s episode is sponsored by Nona Digital.Working with us to create or accelerate your FinTech product means you get access to our expert product teams across design and engineering that have been building products together for a very long time.You get the benefit of a studio that is big enough for no key person dependencies to exist but small enough so that you are always close to the principals.

Om Podcasten

Building a business is hard. Maintaining healthy relationships with those that you care about is hard. Staying fit and healthy in your body, your mind and your emotions is hard. This podcast is about finding and sharing tools, strategies and experiences that may help you to achieve and maintain moderate success in your life, whatever that means to you. There is a ton of content created by the billionaires, the ultra successful athletes, and by people that are at a level that the vast majority of us will just never get to. And if you're anything like me, you're totally okay with that. This is a place where we talk about how to build a great business, but not necessarily a massive one. A place to talk about how we build a life that is balanced and integrated, but not necessarily optimised to levels that are not realistic for most of us. In short, it's a place where we explore how to be moderately successful. The work will always remain yours, and for the most part, it's simple, but not easy.I sincerely hope it's valuable to you.-MikeIf you want to talk about working with me get in touch on mike@smbmastery.com.au or https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeadamscott/
