Bijon Mehta, Global Head of Financial Services at Twilio joins us for our ongoing series – FTT Chats – where we sit down with the great and the good of FinTech to discuss innovation, new entrants, and emerging technologies.

Twilio aims to create the worlds leading customer engagement platform. A core part of offering is an API layer that sits on top of a global network of 3500 telco relationships to create a platform that is quick, efficient and can deliver innovation at scale across over 100 countries. Nearly 10 million developers worldwide use Twilio’s APIs.

From a challenger bank that wants to quickly set up the ability to send SMS alerts to customers to the text message you get from Uber or Lyft letting you know that your car has arrived – that is (or can be) powered by Twilio all whilst protecting your private information

Taking a problem solving approach for financial institutions of all types and FinTechs, Mehta notes the example of the current Covid-19 crisis and the ways in which Twilio allowed for compliant employee/customer communications in institutions that had to grapple with the challenge of their employees working remotely at very short notice.
