Tapping into that opportunity, Ian Parke developed a payment app that will turn every mobile phone into a payment platform. He is the founder of FIN-PAY, a tech company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, with a rapidly growing global presence. Join Sam and Ian in today's episode as they talk about digital innovation and the future of payments.
