Many growing businesses are held back not by product or ambition, but by financial infrastructure that assumes borders still matter in the digital age. Evan argues that the future of business banking must be frictionless, multi-currency, and tailored to the realities of cross-border trade, not legacy banking inertia. Having led regional strategy in MENA, he shares how 3S Money makes international markets accessible to SMEs by offering local-equivalent accounts, faster payments, and competitive foreign exchange that undercuts traditional banks. On podcasts, Evan breaks down the barriers holding SMEs back, explains why borderless financial services are not a luxury but a commercial necessity, and illustrates how entrepreneurs can scale with confidence beyond their home markets.

For too long, traditional banks have struggled to meet the needs of fast-moving, globally-oriented companies, leaving emerging businesses underserved and frustrated. Evan’s perspective is that fintech doesn’t exist in opposition to banks but in partnership — fintech drives innovation, banks bring regulatory strength, and together they can deliver real solutions. Drawing on 3S Money’s experience helping thousands of businesses transact across 190+ countries, he explains how collaboration between banks and fintech leads to more resilient financial ecosystems. On podcasts, Evan shares nuanced views on this evolving relationship, challenging simplistic “bank vs. fintech” rhetoric and offering a roadmap for cooperation that benefits both entrepreneurs and the broader finance industry.

Cross-border payments remain a persistent bottleneck, with slow settlement times, hidden fees, and fragmented systems that frustrate business users. According to Evan, solving these issues isn’t just about technology — it’s about rethinking how global finance serves commerce at a foundational level. By integrating payment rails and local settlement mechanisms, and combining them with transparent pricing and human relationship management, 3S Money helps businesses send and receive funds efficiently in dozens of currencies worldwide. On podcasts, he articulates where the industry is heading, what successful payment strategies look like in practice, and how companies can improve cash flow, manage risk, and build trust with partners and clients globally.

Leading fintech expansion from Dubai and beyond requires both strategic vision and operational agility. Evan brings insight from scaling a regulated global payments company across MENA and other regions, focusing on how leaders can balance innovation with compliance, grow teams in diverse markets, and build products that resonate with local and international needs. He offers real-world lessons in fintech leadership, managing regulatory complexity, and fostering teams that execute entrepreneurial strategy at scale. On podcasts, Evan helps listeners navigate the challenges and opportunities of leading in fintech, sharing playbooks that demystify growth in dynamic global markets and inspire founders and executives alike.
