International crossbody payments powerhouse Thunes is set to collaborate with the World Economic Forum (WEF) on their Shaping the Future of Financial and Monetary Systems Platform in an effort to end financial services access inequality.
Thunes will function in a hands-on consultative capacity, sharing expert opinions, isolating lapses, and providing critical analysis in order to further policy and program development geared towards promoting sustainable development and financial inclusivity.
In addition, Thunes aims to support other WEF platforms including the Future of Trade and Global Economic Interdependence and Shaping the Future of Digital Economy and New Value Creation.
Additionally, partnering with the WEF coincides strongly with Thunes’ goal of establishing an efficient, hassle-free, and secure worldwide payments system that allows entrepreneurs and communities anywhere on the globe to conduct transactions.
Thunes CEO Peter De Caluwe explained that while international payments enterprises such as they are enthusiastic about how technology has made their services more accessible to individuals worldwide, the system’s infrastructure evolves at a snail’s pace, making it somewhat unstable, which only enables financial services inequality.
“We feel that being at the core of the global discussions, we have an opportunity and responsibility to contribute to the evolution of the Global financial systems and drive significant changes towards a more equitable future for people, businesses and communities. We look forward to working with WEF to help build a more efficient, resilient and inclusive financial system,” Caluwe stated.
Meanwhile, WEF Executive Committee Member and Platform Head for Shaping the Future of Financial and Monetary Systems Matthew Blake expressed elation at the collaboration with Thunes, welcoming the company into the organization’s initiatives.
“This partnership reflects a broader trend of companies shifting focus from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism, leading to more public-private alliances and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The Forum is excited to grow as a trusted platform that enables such cooperation and supports a more inclusive and resilient financial system,” Blake said.
