Abstract:Paysend, a UK-based fintech firm, announced the official opening of its Americas headquarters in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday.

Over the past four years, Paysend has grown by 14,498%.
Miami startups raised $4.6 billion in 2021.
According to the press release, the move reaffirms Miami‘s status as America’s new financial capital, as a growing number of venture capital firms and fintech startups are flocking to the area to take advantage of its proximity to Latin American markets and influxes of top entrepreneurial and technology talent.
“We see Miami as a strategically important location for Paysend so opening our Americas headquarters in Miami was a logical step for us to take advantage of the leading entrepreneurial ecosystem and dominant talent pool thats developing there. We recently consolidated our Americas areas - Canada, America and Latin America - into one region and Miami provides the best location to serve our customers in those areas as well as providing a bridge into the Caribbean and Central America,” Abdul Abdulkerimov, Founder and Chairman at Paysend, commented about the announcement.
