Yuval Brisker, Co-Founder and CEO of Alviere, said:
“Access to financial services is continuing to evolve, and consumers are constantly opening up to new ways of moving, storing, spending and saving money. For brands in Europe, and around the world, providing financial services means uncovering vast untapped opportunities. Embedding financial products under their brand into their existing business, products and to their existing customer base, has quickly emerged as an important strategy for growth and customer retention.”
