"Pokemon has a slogan saying ‘gotta catch them all’ and our strategy is partly ‘gotta catch them all’ because we build a worldwide credit bureau and we have to work with every country. If we want to achieve in time, we have to expand worldwide.”

Nicky, the company’s COO, talks about the inspiration for Nova Credit, the importance of multicultural teams in the company, and how she sealed a collaboration with American Express.
