Fintech Happy Hour During UNGA week with Checker, Hello Clever, Lightspark and AMV

​UNGA week fills your calendar with panels, security lines, and traffic, and does not leave much time for real conversations.

​This is your chance to do the opposite for one evening. Hosted by Checker Finance alongside Hello Clever, Lightspark and Al Mada Ventures, join us for an evening with no mic, no stage and no pitch, just good old fashioned conversation with people building at the crossroads of global payments, stablecoins and fintech.

Checker: A global liquidity network for stablecoins, enabling Financial Institutions (FIs) to scale globally with their network of deep stablecoin and fiat liquidity worldwide. Built on 60+ years of expertise across traditional finance and digital asset institutions.

Hello Clever: Hello Clever is building the exchange for money movement, matching every transaction to the rail that should carry it, so money moves in and out of the US fast, on whichever rail buyers already use. Hello Clever is expanding into the US now, so talk to the team about what that looks like.

​Lightspark: Lightspark is the API for money. One integration lets any business launch global accounts, payments, cards, and stablecoins under its own brand — sending, receiving, holding, spending, and converting funds in any currency, fiat or stablecoin, across 65+ countries on local rails, settled in real time. Built as open infrastructure on Bitcoin's decentralized foundation, Lightspark already powers money movement for companies like SoFi, Coinbase, Nubank, Revolut, and Tether, with most teams going live in days rather than quarters.

​Al Mada Ventures: AMV is a $110 million Casablanca-based venture capital fund backed entirely by African capital that invests in innovative, growth-stage technology startups across the continent.

What you'll walk away with:

- A read on how money is expected to move in and out of the US next, from the people building the rails
- A direct line to Hello Clever as they expand into the US, worth knowing before everyone else does
- Updates on the latest and greatest at Lightspark
- And most importantly; Real conversation with founders, investors, and operators around policy, fundraising, and product
