Rubén Galindo Steckel, CEO of Airtm, discusses how his Stellar-powered platform enables Latin Americans to participate in the global economy through fast, low-fee dollar accounts and flexible cash-out options, breaking down barriers to international financial participation.
In this Founder Journey interview, Rubén Galindo Steckel shares how Airtm, built on Stellar payment rails, addresses financial exclusion in Latin America. The platform provides digital entrepreneurs and businesses with dollar accounts and financial services that enable quick cashouts with minimal fees and multiple withdrawal methods. Rubén envisions a borderless economic future where the entire American continent operates as a unified region, allowing people to access global opportunities without leaving home. He emphasizes the importance of understanding users deeply, from garbage collectors trading crypto to DeFi enthusiasts, and believes financial inclusion is key to keeping people in their home countries while providing economic opportunity.
