EE 288- Unlocking the Future of Fintech with Kealan Lennon & Clever Cards

Join Gary as he sits down with Kealan Lennon, founder of Clever Cards, and discuss his revolutionary approach to online payments. Listen in as we unpack how this innovative system allows employers to gift their employees up to 1,000 euros tax-free in the form of a digital Mastercard. We hear the rollercoaster journey of how a Facebook algorithm change forced him to completely transform his business model within a few months. A chance visit to China was the lightbulb moment and Clever Cards 2.0 was born to become an industry leader in the online payments space. But the transition to digital payments is not without its challenges. Together with Keelan, we navigate the pressing issues of security and compliance, exploring how Clever Cards leverages biometrics and KYC for added protection. Keelan also expands on the transformative power of frictionless payments, demonstrating how Clever Cards makes it incredibly easy for CFOs to control card limits and expiry dates. In a wide-ranging interview, we get a glimpse into the masterplan Kealan has that will transform the online payments space and where this will lead him as a founder.     --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:01) - Clever Cards (0:08:53) - Digital Transformation in Payments and Finance (0:14:30) - Future of Payments (0:25:17) - Transitioning From Consumer to B2B Business (0:28:58) - Transitioning to a New Business (0:34:28) - Irish Entrepreneurship and Building Connections (0:44:10) - Building Infrastructure for Long-Term Success (0:54:52) - Building for Future Success With Goals (0:59:22) - Fitness and Work-Life Balance Importance   --- Join my free weekly email newsletter here: https://bit.ly/40TgDkq --- Visit My Partners for season 15 - Location Partner: Iconic Offices - Claim your exclusive pod offer: https://bit.ly/iconicEE23  - Wealth Summit -  Use code fox150 to get special priced ticket: https://bit.ly/3r2yvfJ   Music by Andrew Applepie.
