Financial and Monetary Systems

“If you want to remain a competitor in the global economy, you have to disrupt yourself. You need to figure out what a small, nimble competitor that has nothing to lose will do to put you out of business, and do that to yourself.”

In this World Economic Forum video, Max Levchin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HVF and co-founder of PayPal and Yelp, talks about building financial services for millennials, global security concerns and the importance of honesty and transparency to young consumers.
