Seeing these numbers in just a few weeks with hardly anything spent on paid ads is a strong signal that there's a gap in the market for what we're building.

To those who have already signed up and started using Sendana to receive/spend/move money, thank you for trusting us 🙏

The Caribbean Fintechs Saw It First!
Jamaica’s banking shake-up isn’t a coincidence.

Today is proof that @ThisIsSethsBlog has always been right:

"Tribes with leaders, making a difference supporting each other and spreading the word."

You can build a tribe for your company and then sell shares to them. You don't have to cater to everyone or explain the value to everyone.

Having support for Google Pay and not Apple Pay in the region is not a bank/FI level decision by the way. If Apple hasn’t decided to put the country on this list here, it’s not happening:

On a not unrelated note, physical cards are coming soon to Sendana.

To be clear, a whole country not having electricity in 2026 is WILD, no matter how small!

#Update: Island-wide black out. I am waiting on an update from @myJPSonline President who is on the way to their emergency center.

Came across two people in their 70s recently who said they wish they'd done more in their 40s/could go back to their 40s. Unprompted they specifically said 40s, not 20s, not 30s. 40s for them was when they believe they had the perfect blend of energy and wisdom. Yet there are people in their 40s thinking it's too late for them to do/build something new.
