Dating from a time when financial executives were far less likely to reveal their opinions, Schulman has not been shy in stating his, about everything from discriminatory bank practices and wealth inequities. That, he says, has meant putting his views into reality in the way he leads PayPal. In 2019 he raised wages and cut health-care costs for lower-pay employees.

Question:

You talk a lot about equity. A lot of companies talk about equity, ESG goals. How do we trust that companies are actually doing what

they claim to be doing, when there’s no real way to measure it?

Answer

  1. I think that companies have an obligation and the CEOs who run those companies have an obligation to stand up and address the societal issues that are around us.
  2. Otherwise, it's just propaganda and employees, and customers and share holders see through that

Question

What’s the biggest problem with the way the financial industry is set up?

4

22 reads

Answer:

  1. It’s expensive to be poor. The less money you have, the more it costs you to do basic transactions.
  2. If you want to cash a check, and you’re part of the banking system, it’s simple and easy. It’s usually free of charge.
  3. But if you’re outside the system, you need to stand in line waiting at a cash checking location, and pay.
  4. You’re waiting in line, you’re losing money on every transaction, and then if you want to pay a bill, you need to stand in line again, and pay a transaction fee to pay your bills. This is the kind of system we have today

Question

When will central banks actually start using digital currency in great numbers?

4

16 reads

Answer

  1. About 80% of the world’s central banks have some kind of studies or limited experiments underway.

There’s clearly an understanding that the world is moving more and more to digital forms of payments.

Central banks are looking towards all forms of digital currencies, for efficiency sake and lower costs, but also, the digital economy is upon us now. And clearly the pandemic accelerated that.

Question

Is paper money really dying out, or is it just us sitting in Europe and California who think that? If you travel around Africa, no one takes a credit card.

Answer

  1. Many people have forecasted the death of cash and been wrong, and I don't want to be another in that long list! But everyone has a smartphone.
  2. It is becoming ubiquitous, and wireless connectivity is becoming more and more ubiquitous.
  3. The ability to leapfrog into the next generation of payments, that’s more efficient, faster, with less cost, is something governments are eagerly looking at.

It just makes sense for them to do that for their citizens.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

Jamyson Haug

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
