About this episode

Welcome to Money Travels. In episode 4 of season 2 we talk to some of the experts who are building the tools that will transform the next generation of money movement. Tencent is a multinational technology conglomerate and one of the world's largest social media companies. WeChat or Weixin, as the app is known in Mainland China, is Tencent’s popular app known for instant messaging, social posting, shopping and more. We explore the ways that Weixin has integrated financial features into the consumer app experience and how Visa Direct is helping Weixin Pay create a seamless digital experience for users who can receive remittances directly into their wallet. We're talk to Deepan Dagur, vice president and regional head Asia Pacific at Visa Direct, and Wenhui Yang, the regional general manager of Tenpay Global Asia Pacific. We hope you enjoy this fascinating new episode of Money Travels, brought to you by Visa.
