• Marwan's back story: from Ottawa, Canada to Silicon Valley

• What is Veem? What is the problem they are solving - how does it work?

• How did Marwan and his team build the network needed to effect payments?

• How did they go about acquiring first clients, and how were you able to scale up

• If I am a small business, why should I bank with Veem and not someone else, including some banks who claim they have specific services for SMEs and large corporates? Marwan explains.

• How does Veem make money?

• How are small and medium businesses in the US coping with the pandemic, especially when it comes to payments? Are they willing and able to adapt to be more digital-like some of their larger competitors?

• The impact of the COVID-19 on the payments industry and, more broadly, FinTechs? Are contactless or even contact-free and digital payments here to stay? Opportunities and threats? Short term and long term?
