From SuperApp to web3 Remittances Hussain Elius of Wind

In this episode, I speak with Hussain Elius, Founder and CEO of Wind, a fintech that is enabling instant cross-border payments built on blockchain rails.

Elius has been a career entrepreneur, starting with building an event management business in university. Once he graduated, Elius took an experimental approach to developing the business model that would eventually become the well known Bangladeshi SuperApp, Pathao. After 6 years building Pathao, Elius changed gears and launched a web3 fintech that enables instant and low-cost global payments.

Wind has developed self-custodial crypto wallets that completely eliminate gas fees and are accessible anywhere in the world. They have done this by building both the payment infrastructure and interoperability with mainstream on- and off-ramps. Wind is headquartered in Singapore and has payment licenses in both Europe and the UAE. They raised $3.8M at the end of 2023. You can learn more about them by visiting wind.app.
