What’s the backstory, and how did you come up with this idea?

The genesis of BRISKPE originates from a genuine struggle encountered in real life, a lightbulb moment sparked by witnessing personal and friends’ international payment woes. As I observed him navigating the labyrinth of cross-border transactions, burdened by hefty fees and convoluted processes, it became evident that there was a significant gap in the existing system.

The frustration my friend faced was a universal woe for freelancers and MSMEs, grappling with the complexities of global payments. That moment became the catalyst for launching BRISKPE – a vision to bridge the gap and alleviate the financial and operational burdens faced by those navigating the intricate landscape of international transactions. It transcended being just a business idea; it evolved into a mission to empower freelancers and small businesses, turning their struggles into opportunities for growth.

What does success mean to you and your company?

Success, for both me and our company, is synonymous with the tangible impact we create in the cross-border payments’ landscape, especially for MSMEs. It goes beyond financial metrics; it's about being the catalyst that transforms challenges into opportunities. Success, to us, is successfully navigating the complexities of cross-border transactions for these businesses, facilitating seamless global commerce, and contributing to the success stories of countless MSMEs.

If you had a chance to do things differently, what would you do?

If given the chance to do things differently, I might have encouraged my past self to embrace emerging technologies even more fervently, while still preserving the core mission of making cross-border payments effortless for MSMEs. The bumps and challenges have shaped us, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. The beauty lies in the unpredictable journey, and I would advise my past self to enjoy every twist and turn a little more, as it's the obstacles in the road that make success stories more exhilarating.

How do you look at AI adoption into the business?

The incorporation of AI/ML technologies is poised to revolutionise our operations, promising to elevate customer experiences while simultaneously reducing friction and optimising the efficiency of payment processes. Specifically, within the context of BRISKPE, AI's role in scenarios like fraud detection, refining sanction screening, and expediting the KYC process underscores its strategic value. Also, AI's ability to predict customer behaviour during account usage aligns seamlessly with BRISKPE's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation. This not only establishes BRISKPE as an innovative leader in the industry but also results in a more competitive and cost-efficient environment for our esteemed customers.
