George has been deep in payments for years: Head of Product at TrueLayer, then co-founder of BVNK, and now building Lorum to tackle the hardest layer of the stack: global clearing.
We get into:
Why payments becomes an obsession if you look closely enough
What “rebuilding clearing from the ground up” actually means, in plain English
Virtual accounts, ledgering, Swift, and why settlement speed still matters
The real opportunity: fixing dollar clearing and cross border flows
How Lorum makes money, and why being “payments only” changes the incentives
The fundraising sprint, choosing Northzone, and what great investors actually do day to day
The hardest part early on: banking reality versus licensing theory in the Middle East
How George runs transparency, morale, and intensity during high growth
A simple lesson for founders: do not start a company unless you care deeply about the problem
