My special guest this week is Daniel Doderlein, the CEO of Auka.   The Auka payments platform is the technological foundation of Settle. It’s a secure and compliant transaction platform that offers all the necessary third-party connections for partners to join the scheme. The platform handles all types of use cases and funding sources, ranging from cards and prepaid to direct-to-account access. The creation of the Auka mobile payments platform started in 2010, which makes Auka the first company to build mobile payments infrastructure in the Nordics. Daniel grew up right outside of Oslo, Norway. He was extremely interested in tech from an early age. His grandfather was a nuclear scientist and when Daniel was very young, his grandfather bought a Macintosh computer and Daniel immediately fell in love with tech. Daniel has started many companies over the years and is truly a fintech and mobile payments pioneer with an amazing and interesting journey.  His latest product Settle is a European mobile payments scheme that connects people and businesses.  www.auka.iowww.leadersinpayments.comwww.podcast609.com
