Finvasia Co-founders: “Being the hub for the European markets, Cyprus was an obvious choice”

At the recently concluded iFX Expo, hosted at the luxurious City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol, CBN engaged in insightful conversations with six prominent players in the fintech business. These exchanges sought to unravel what makes them tick, shedding light on the industry’s driving forces, and prognosticate upcoming trends.

Since then, it grew into a global business with a diverse portfolio that spans multiple sectors, including financial services, healthcare and real estate.
