Hi everyone and welcome back. This is Humanitarian Frontiers on the Edge. I'm your host Chris Hoffman and today we've got an amazing group of friends here to discuss what somehow feels like an intangible topic. But I think we're going to make it tangible today for everyone. I think it's starting to become so mainstream that the opportunity to make cross border payments using a number of different rails. The opportunities continue to grow and the systems are starting to avail themselves for private transfers of cash all around the world. And that's really important for the humanitarian sector. We talk about all the time having to drive a truck down to a group of people and be able to distribute cash, physical cash to them, et cetera. And today I think, I think we've got a lot of solutions that can start to put that away and not have to worry about that so much. We know that it's still going to have to happen in some cases and that's totally fair. But I think that there's some great opportunities in the future that we're going to touch on today. And I'm joined today by Abby Kumar from Thunes and John Reynolds from Alio. Abby and John, welcome. Great to have you both here.

Yeah, super fun this is going to be. It's an exciting conversation for me because I worked with both of you in capacities on completely different systems doing the same thing in some way but different. And so I think it's same same but different if you want to put it that way. But I love the fact of having both of you here to discuss this and maybe we'll just start with you. Abby, go ahead and just give the short snippet on who you are and what you're up to.
