Taking digital lending across Laos, village by village, with Tim Scheffmann (LTS Ventures)

With 10,000 transactions processed a day across 900+, often remote, villages, LTS Ventures is one of the more impactful operations I've had the pleasure of featuring on this show. But when you build the digital infrastructure needed for core banking, you're also building an ecosystem of trust and technology that other innovators can leverage in the future, so the incredible work already being done is just the start of a financial inclusion explosion in Laos (and beyond).You can learn more about LTS Ventures and their village banking solutions at https://www.ltsventures.com/Or reach out to Tim directly on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/scheffmann/I'm on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange/Please also follow, share, and talk about the show using https://www.linkedin.com/company/how-to-lend-money-to-strangers/And if you want to get a sneak peek at some of what I'm working on, my website is currently being refreshed (even as some of the projects it mentions lag behind): https://www.brendanlegrange.com/Other friends of the show include:https://www.ogmara.com/ (customised risk management and analytic consulting)https://www.ontap.co.za/pages/hoedspruit-store-details (for all your Hoedspruit-based bathroom needs)https://flatwhiteorfoff.com/ (ask for anything other than a flat white, the answer is in the name)https://www.joinhumoni.com/ (helping international students find accommodation, work, and financial services on day one)https://www.haboomoney.com/ (making collections personalised, flexible and intelligent)https://beetlesense.ai (AI-powered day one pest detection for forestry)And since you like podcasts, I also co-create HAIghtened Senses with Christo van Zyl, which looks at the intersection between human senses and technology (and this week, flying cars)Keep well, BrendanThis is an interview I set up while at Money20/20 Asia, but they have shows around the world.
