A Conversation with Payson Johnston and Anton Zdziebczok

FinCrime World Forum 2020: On-Demand Session

We talk to Payson Johnston, CEO & co-founder of Crowdz, a FinTech company based in Silicon Valley, focused on revolutionising invoice financing for SMEs and helping businesses get paid faster.

As we head into 2021, alternative lenders and FinTechs will play a vital role in delivering much-needed credit to SMEs during these challenging times. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Crowdz has experienced 5,000% growth in business users, accelerated by a surge in demand to improve cashflow during the toughest economic downturn in decades.

We discussed with Payson Johnston what the future holds for SME lending, best practice risk mitigation and how FinTechs can help rebuild the economy by helping SME’s overcome the obstacles of fraud and obtaining finance quickly.
