In Pakistan, more than 80% of the population is either underbanked or unbanked. In 2018, as a response to this absence of access to mainstream banking and financial services, MyTM was established.

MyTM’s goal is to break down barriers and enhance people’s lives by integrating finance and technology and bringing fintech to the masses.

During this episode, MyTM Co-founder, Usman discussed the difficulties and opportunities associated with making finance more accessible to everyone. He emphasized the rejections and difficulties he faced during his startup journey, which further fueled his passion to make a meaningful impact on society. This episode serves as a testament to the fact that every startup journey, driven by passion and the desire to make a difference, is powered by continuous learning and innovation.

Usman has over 12 years of experience in technology development and has worked with some of the most innovative startups and well-established corporates in the industry.
