Domec is a member of the Fintech District community and decided to be present at the Salone dei Pagamenti 2018. Simone Mariani explains why.

Why did you decide to participate?

At present, the Salone dei Pagamenti is the best stage for any company in the supply chain and therefore it represents an unmissable opportunity for networking and also for updating Domec. Last year we had already participated as a partner of the initiative, with excellent feedback in terms of new collaborations and expansion of the audience of reference. It goes without saying that this year we want to present ourselves in a more organic way to talk about the good news we have in the pipeline.

How will you be present and what will you show at the show?

We decided to adopt a storytelling strategy, showing our technologies and concretely telling about the new features of the Domec Tools proprietary platform. We will present Belooy, our technology on the launch pad, and many new features that will make us have fun already starting in 2019. The digital payments world is constantly growing and we want to be active players in the development.

Will you also participate in a panel? About which themes?

We will tell about Domec in the glass room of Fintech goes to Italy, with a pitch dedicated to the evolution of our solutions. We will discuss the theme of “payment cards: which is their future?” in the panel, on the agenda in the thematic section of payments, on the 8th of November. It will be an excellent time to give our contribution to the sector.

What do you expect from the Salone dei Pagamenti?

First of all, we expect to transmit and receive new product ideas, perspectives, and then definitely important collaborations for our next evolutionary steps. We have a lot of news in the construction site to say that they will receive the attention of those present …

How did the Fintech District support you in participating in the Salone dei Pagamenti?

Thanks to the collaboration with Fintech District, we will be present in the thematic area “Fintech goes to Italy”, trying to contaminate each other positively with similar and complementary realities to us and addressing the most important strategic issues for the growth of the FinTech sector, from the fundamental role of ecosystem, access to capital, integration and dialogue between Fintech and Incumbent, up to the need to promote internationalization. A very interesting opportunity that we wanted to catch at once.

Born to allow everyone to experience a global lifestyle, Revolut allows you to spend 150 currencies worldwide and hold up to 25 currencies on the app. You can change from one currency to another without commission and at the interbank exchange rate.

A few weeks ago it launched its metal card, “this is our super premium product – explained George Thomson, Country Manager Italy – It is a card made of metal that allows the user to have higher limits in free ATM withdrawals in all the world and a 24-hour concierge service to book flights and hotels, cashback in cryptocurrencies, travel insurance, airport lounges and lots of benefits. In one card there is everything a person who travels a lot needs”.

Just landed in Italy, Revolut has found a “not simple” market. Thomson explained that “we are still very used to cash and there is also a strong linguistic barrier, in fact we are translating the app into Italian and we are ‘Italianizing’ it a bit”.

Meanwhile, during the summer, this Fintech became a member of the Fintech District community. “I found it right away, when I looked for the fintech center in Italy and of course we wanted to be part of it. I expect it to help me make a lot of networking and have symbiotic relationships with other startups to help each other and make the Italian fintech ecosystem grow “.

By the end of the year the goal of Revolut is to reach 100K users in Italy. Today, this startup already operates in almost all of Europe but by the end of the year it will also be in the United States and in other Asian countries. By the end of 2019 it aims to be present “all around the world”.
