This week we are joined by Top Lim of FinHero, which is a FinTech solutions provider operating a Finance as a Service platform ranging from credit scoring, KYC, collections and even supply chain financing.
This was a great conversation to discuss how he transitioned from a corporate career at equipment financing entities to launching his own firm. We talk about the particulars in leveraging technology towards a traditional lending business to bring efficiency and more risk mitigation. We close out with addressing the need to build trust in entering new markets.
I’d love to know what you took away from this conversation with Top Lim. If you’d like to be considered as a guest or have someone that you’d like to hear me speak to, drop me a message.
