The Future of Remittances w/ Mark Lenhard (Zepz)

Presented by Stablecon Media and Powered by BVNK In episode 7 of Money Code, we speak with Mark Lenhard, CEO of Zepz Group, the parent company behind WorldRemit and Sendwave, to explore the evolution of remittances and the role of stablecoins in transforming financial services. We discuss the challenges of traditional remittance systems, and how remittances are shifting from one-off transfers to consumer wallets: sending digital dollars that users can hold, save, and spend, unlocking savings, credit, and other services across the Global South.
