This is a YouTube video titled "💳 Meet Takenos: Redefining freelance finance with a secure digital wallet" (published 2025-02-19T10:06:51+00:00). The excerpt is a single-speaker segment (labeled SPEAKER A) presenting Takenos, a fintech app offering virtual US/Europe accounts, instant payments, cash access and stablecoin. The speaker describes product traction (about 10K monthly active users), early profitability from month 4–5, a 25-person team, and a target market of ~15 million regional cross-border workers with an ambition to capture ~6–7% to reach $1B in revenue. The clip appears to be a product/company pitch or founder interview rather than a multi-person conversation.

Chapters

Basically, with Takenos, you can open an account and access to a virtual account in the US and Europe and get instant access to payments or cash or even stablecoin. We are the only app that today is reaching about 10K monthly active users, and we did it like mostly bootstrapping it. So it's, it's very common for the financial, for the fintech industry to be very well funded. We didn't take that path. We, in our 4th, 5th month, we were generating profits. Nowadays, we are on a very great position where we are like having a 25-people team. There are about 15 million people in the region that at least once a year they're working for another country or someone in another region. And we want to take like around 6-7% of that market to reach a $1 billion in revenues company.
