Fazz exec Mark Hew on approaching growth from payments differently from other fintechs | Call 163

On Call with Insignia Ventures

We've been able to document the journey of fintech Fazz all the way back since our podcast started in 2020 with the CEO and co-founder, Hendra Kwik’s origin story. We've followed their evolution into what is now a regional FinTech group through a merger with Xfers.

We also got to talk to Tianwei Liu, co-founder of Xfers, who is now the group deputy CEO of Fazz, about different topics from his journey building Xfers and joining forces with Payfazz (2022) to the future of payments in the region with blockchain technology and compliant stablecoins (2024).

Today, we're joined by another leader from Fazz, Mark Hew, the Business Unit head for Payments and Agent Network in Indonesia, as well as Chief of Staff of the company.

In part one of our conversation with him, he talks about Fazz’s evolution into a payment infrastructure company, his evolving role in the company, and how the company has weathered the tech boom and bust in recent years.
