Money20/20 in association with Fintech Finance present the first ever Round The World (RTW) Payments Race

Money20/20 in association with Fintech Finance will present the RTW Payments Race, launching at Trafalgar Square, London on Thursday, May 23^rd, 2019 at 12pm.

Racers are tasked with making their way round the world, whilst facing a series of payments-related challenges along the way. The only catch is that each racer can use one payment method or face immediate disqualification. The payment methods are Cash, Card, Crypto and Mobile.

Blue Train Marketing is thrilled to have been selected as the official media and PR partner for Team Card supporting racerSophie Theen from 11FS. The epic race will kick off from Trafalgar Square and finish at Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam on June 4/5.

Each racer will have a cameraperson filming their every move and a support team back in the UK and all over the world. This team consists of mentors, sponsors and a PR partner and it is their role to get other people involved as much as possible!

Ali Paterson, Editor-in-chief, Fintech Finance, said: “This is the big one! A two-week race round the world is difficult enough, but only using one payment method? It’s crazy…”

Travelling west from London to Amsterdam, Sophie and her trusty cameraperson Chai Rolfe, a self-employed TV and film professional, will have to go through three checkpoints: Northern Ireland, Hong Kong and Lithuania. Join us at the start of their journey tomorrow!
