Geoswift Joins 2023 UBC BizChina Forum to Start Conversation on Post-Pandemic Fintech Development
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 28, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Geoswift, a payment technology company with significant expertise in Asian cross-border payments, joined the UBC BizChina Forum as an Honorary Partner March 17-18 at the Vancouver Convention Center. The event brought together leading industry practitioners and researchers to discuss business topics in a post-pandemic context.
Geoswift founder Raymond Qu, a UBC alumni, was invited to the forum to provide insight as a panelist on fintech developments. He shared that “The key to success for a fintech company is to use technological innovation to solve real financial market pain points, and more importantly, to do so in a regulatory compliant manner.”
Over the past 10 years, Geoswift has been trusted by hundreds of prestigious educational institutions to manage their international payments from Asia, offering flexible payment options including bank transfer, UnionPay, Alipay or WeChat Pay.
When asked how students should evaluate opportunities, Raymond continued, “Look at the value that a company provides, rather than just judging an opportunity by its brand.”
Raymond also initiated and sponsored the I&O Entrepreneurship Competition, where students and entrepreneurs were invited to express their ideas, win prizes and gain recognition from investors. The competition made its first debut during the forum on March 18.
Geoswift’s global president Jessica Ao also commented: “As a major fintech player in cross-border payments, Geoswift helps tens of thousands of Chinese international students make convenient education payments to their universities every year, so they can focus on their studies. They are a customer group that we put great emphasis on, as we feel a strong responsibility to provide our customers with both a user-friendly payment solution and an enriching study experience. Therefore, we are proud to join UBC’s BizChina Forum to better deliver on this responsibility.”
