This startup has investors like Myron Scholes,[8] who is also chairman of the Advisory Board.[9] Also Bill Elkus, founder of Clearstone Venture Partners, joined the company as an investor and advisor.[10]
Myron Scholes quoted Kuapay with “Kuapay possesses a unique and attractive combination of international market strategy, innovative security architecture, and a vision as to the future direction of mobile payments using the smart phone, which immediately drew me to the company,” said Scholes. “I see massive potential for Kuapay to be a dominant player in the mobile payments market, which is very much still in its infancy. I look forward to continue to advise this company on its journey to success.”.[11]
In 2016, Ayuso de Pául founded Denizen, which according to the Financial Times provides "the world’s first global bank account that will allow account holders to receive money in one country and pay it out in another without incurring any payment fees".
