Hi guys, welcome to the Fintech Coffee Break. I'm your host Isabelle Castro. This week I sat down with Josip Rupena, CEO and founder of Milo, to talk primarily about providing mortgages and other financing for foreign nationals. 

Foreign nationals looking to invest in US properties often met with roadblocks to get approved. US banks are often difficult to work with from a foreign country, and international clients can face fluctuations in whether they will be served.

Josip saw the issue mirrored in applicants with crypto while bringing him to launch a crypto-backed mortgage last year. However, with continuing challenges in the lending sector, Milo has since been brought back to focus on their original target, foreign nationals. I spoke to Josip about Milo's approach and where the company was going next to serve them.
