When we are immigrating to a different country, often we are leaving behind many valuable things which made up our past lives. One of things we don't even think of that is critical, are our financial report cards. Even for folks who may have had stellar credit in their home country, when you get to a new nation, you can't access credit – be it student loans, credit cards, auto loans and mortgages. Essentially, we are forced to start over wherever we go, often times forcing people into poor credit situations, such as using credit cards with ridiculous interest rates, horrifying pay-day loans, etc. It may shock you to know, even countries in North America cannot carry their credit history with them be it US to Canada, Canada to US, Mexico to Canada and so on. Nova Credit aims to change this. They are acting as the world's first cross-border consumer reporting agency. They have built a global network of credit bureaus where consumers can essentially take their financial history and identity with them, wherever they go. Misha Esipov is the CEO of Nova Credit and his mission is to "enable immigrants to access credit to realize their potential." This is a huge global issue for everyone and the team at Nova Credit are offering real solutions. For more information, please visit: https://www.neednova.com/
Let's face it. We have all been caught in spreadsheet, pdf and paper hell in our daily work lives. Money is lost. Time is lost. Enter aXpire, a cloud-based and AI-enabled blockchain payment processing company, who are using the blockchain to speed up processes, reduce errors, and make transactions accurate as well as transparent on both a B2B level, as well as P2P, within organizations. Gary Markham, CEO at aXpire, explains how Resolvr, the interactive dashboard they have developed, is addressing these common issues which are costing companies resources every day. Resolvr cuts out a lot of the human manual processes, thereby removing cumbersome emailed docs and reports and along with that room for error and the loss of valuable time. The dashboard requires electronic invoice input and so by obtaining better quality data, again, it is saving users from pouring over useless information. Additionally, the software automatically approves invoices that meet certain conditions set up by the database. There is also an RFP portal that automatically screens and removes vendors who are not appropriate for a job. All transactions also will have an easy to follow audit trail. Time saved. Money saved. Compliance met. More recently aXpire has launched a P2P system called, MatchBX, where individuals are participating in the platform as a freelancer or a task creator. For example, individuals can drop project work they need completed into the database and the freelancers will come in and bid for the work. This is just one more example of how aXpire is working to save companies time and money. For more information, please visit: https://www.axpire.io
Did you forget to pay your rent this month? Are pesky and often hefty late fees coming your way? RentMoola may just be the solution you have been looking for. For the past five years, RentMoola has been one of the leading fintech companies in the United States and Canada solving the age-old hassle of paying and collecting rent. Their online global payment system benefits both tenants and property management companies, by allowing anyone, anywhere to pay their rent anytime. RentMoola's mission to eliminate the rent check, works in a few different ways. A property management company or landlord can enter a tenant's information into the online system or a tenant, him or herself go to the website and do the same. Once the individual's data is submitted, it will go into approval status and then the landlord/management company can accept the funds or approve the submission. Renters can do a one-time payment or set up rolling payments on a monthly basis. Payments can be made by credit card, debit card, RM Direct Debit™ or RM Cash™. In addition to taking the task of paying your rent off your plate each month, with each payment, renters also earn rewards. MoolaPerks, the earned reward by RentMoola, gives users access to exclusive deals and discounts on local and international brands. To maximize rewards, tenants are also using credit cards where they are already earning earn miles or hotel points. RentMoola simply makes paying rent fun and rewarding and allows users to accelerate other reward programs they may already have. Looking to the future, RentMoola has listened to the feedback and has expanded some of the add-on components to the system. They currently offer four core products including collecting rent and the rewards components and additionally they are adding functions referred to as Acquire (meaning online tenant screening and lease signing from anywhere) and Connect ( simple tasks such as maintenance requests and other communication between the tenant and management company.)

Founder of CriptoMonedas TV and an influential voice among Spanish-speaking communities in the crypto space, Felipe Huicochea offers his insight on a variety of topics, including the recent cancellation of all of the accounts of the major exchanges in Chile and Brazil. The cancellations were carried out by ScotiaBank with absolutely no warning to users, and have since crippled the operations of the exchanges in both countries. "I think we're going to see this happen in more countries in the very short-term future…they don't like it, they don't understand it and they see it as a threat," says Huicochea in regards to the attitude of Latin American governments toward cryptocurrency. Huicochea also discusses the state of Venezuela and the PetroDollar, how the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies in Latin America might begin to take form, and how individuals who've lost access to their accounts can go about mitigating the effects and earning crypto. Huicochea is excited to be actively involved in the upcoming Future Tech Expo at the Dallas Convention Center on September 14-16, and he has some exciting speakers lined up.
