Leading financial technology sector CEO Dr. Andy Khawaja is a frequent media guest for discussions involving the always-evolving fintech world. The founder of Allied Wallet, he has seen his online payment processing company take on an international presence as it has expanded operations to a global customer base. In August 2018, Andy Khawaja appeared on Fox Business Network and offered insights into digital payments and the benefits of internet commerce.
When he was working to establish Allied Wallet in 2005, the founder heard the frequent refrain that he was “crazy” for trying to create the type of seamless international payment processing platform he envisioned. He attributes much of his and his company’s success to ignoring such bad advice, to hard work and a fighting spirit, and to the many opportunities afforded by life in the United States.
Allied Wallet has received recognitions from numerous media outlets and other organizations, including Wired magazine, Fortune, and The Guardian, as a leader and innovator in its field. The company’s multiple awards include a “Best Transactions Processing Platform” accolade from the AI 2018 M&A Awards and Corporate Vision’s “Recognized Leader for Online Payment Processing” in the same year.
