TyN: What do you concider the most attractive market for your company and why?
T.J.: We view LATAM in general as a very underserved market with a lot of people and companies that could benefit from our technology. Mexico specifically has only recently installed the appropriate regulatory framework to be able to acomodate for a broader range of payment solutions. Mastercard is an amazing partner for us in Mexico making huge strides in providing the right network functionality and switching capabilities that enable our platform.
TyN: Do you consider latin america as a market for fintech expansion?
T.J.: Absolutely. The beauty of fintech is that fintechs develop their products around problems that they see in their lives and communities and are passionate about solving those problems. At Galileo we aim to provide the back end payments solutions to enable these products and make sure they have everything they need to be successful.

T.J.: Galileo was founded 20 years ago and from the beginning we have focused on enabling payments products that promote financial inclusion and serve the underserved. We continue to develop the most advanced solutions in the market to provide the technology for these types of products.
The real power of Galileo lies in our open API. We did not wake up a year ago and decide that we were going to develop technology for fintechs. We have spent the past 20 years learning how to do it right. We have the experience and the technology to power beautiful products that change the lives of the people that use them.
