We had good government support to gain our Australian Financial Services licence very early on. We are now one of the fastest-growing fintech unicorns in Australia.
Australia has been a good sandbox for many businesses that are trying to expand internationally. Since we started in 2015, the fintech community here has grown a lot and the resources the government provides are useful.
In terms of culture, Australia is very diverse and geographically it is in the same time zone as Asia, which was one of the first markets we expanded into.
