Summary: From the show floor at TRANSACT, the largest payments technology show in the world, ETA CEO Jason Oxman sits down with Rich Aberman for a conversation on the future of fintech. Rich is the co-founder of WePay, a Silicon Valley startup turned payments technology success story. Rich founded WePay in 2008, just one year out of college. Now in its 10th year, WePay has left an notable mark on the fintech world. Funded and supported through its early years by major tech players like Max Levchin, Steve Chen, Y Combinator and Highland Capital Partners, Rich and his team have built an impressive online integrated payments platform. And in August of 2017, JPMorgan Chase announced that it would acquire WePay at a reported valuation of over $220 million. Jason and Rich took a few moments during the Paysafe opening reception on the TRANSACT show floor to talk about WePay’s journey from early funding rounds to acquisition, as well as his observations on payments technology and financial services.
