11. KNOW YOUR LEADER
Thierry Meimoun Leading the Way
Founder of Paytweak and a pioneer in the
field of real-time and remote collections
via secure hyperlinks, sms, and instant
messaging and QR codes, Thierry
Meimoun is renowned in the world of
digital payment innovation.
At the age of 13, he showed his software
talent by developing a flight simulator.
The code for this software was published
in the trending computer magazine of the
1980s “Hebdogiciel”. This invention was
the starting point for a series of software
innovations over the years with the
publication three years later of D-Virus
6.06, one of the very first anti-virus
programs for 3.5" floppy disks published in
“Shareware magazine” CD-ROM. In the
late 80s, Thierry Meimoun continued to
innovate and developed one of the very
first CRM softwares, “Call Soft” deployed
in many Parisian advertising agencies,
His trailblazing continued when he won
tenders from the City of Paris Police
Prefecture to create the very first website
for the prestigious Paris Fire Brigade. At
the age of 22, he founded his first
company, “Imedia”, a web agency
specialising in development and e-
commerce. Simultaneously, he launched
the very first Singles' Magazine and sold it
to a large agency inspired by this
innovative concept. His visionary and
entrepreneur talents really came together
with his coding genius when he created
Paytweak in 2015. His vision for the
payment world was to bring secure and
integrated embedded links for customers
to click and pay. Today this payment
method created by Thierry Meimoun has
become a source of inspiration for the
market and the world of payments.

This accelerated digitalisation has sometimes,
even often, occurred in emergency contexts
where security systems and automation have
sometimes been reduced to the bare
essentials. 2021 will be the year of
consolidation as the systems take the impact
of massive digitalisation from 2020. The
Fintechs have seen their power increase
tenfold over the past year and in the face of
future developments of cyber-security and
development of the new models implemented
last year, their role as players will be more
than even crucial and key in the year ahead.
Paytweak is a Fintech, so by its very nature, it
driven to challenge the competitive
landscape, stay one step ahead and remain
very relevant. Innovation has always been the
core code of existence of Paytweak and its
founder. Identifying and creating what does
not yet exist, bringing solutions to problems
before they happen and tweaking and tending
to client services that are still scattered, this is
Paytweak's guiding star and raison-d'être.
“The Link we make at Paytweak is much
more than a reference payment link or a link

The Road Ahead-
Going forward, Paytweak will continue to
consolidate its position as leader in secure,
real-time and remote payments by link, and
2021 will not be seen as a logical
continuation of 2020 but as necessary
extension of an extraordinary previous year.
Indeed, 2020 will be remembered as a real
fracture in world history, generating not only
an overhaul of models of all kinds but also
placing digital transformation as essential.

distancing, consumption and consumerism
have pushed the boundaries to a new level of
hyper-digitalisation of services and on

journey of rich experience – origin,
inception, early issues, success
stories, and major milestones, to
name a few.
In Candid Conversation with
TBF, Ulrich Pietsch, the
Founder of ecolytiq, shared
some insightful views and
highlighted the influences made by
their company to be the most
recommended fintech solution
provider.
ecolytiq was founded in March 2020
– when the world was shaken by the
emergence of the Covid-19
pandemic. Where others saw despair
and gloom, the ecolytiq founders –
David Lais and Ulrich Pietsch – saw
hope. David and Ulrich founded
ecolytiq in the deep belief that,
notwithstanding the pandemic,
climate change is an issue far too
important to be ignored any longer.
ecolytiq was founded on the principle
that every bank transaction has an
impact. Millions of consumers (=
bank account owners) deserve
transparency on their personal
influence on the environment and
guidance on what they can do every
day to fight climate change.
ecolytiq's first major milestone was
developing a software based on the
Open Payment Standard by NGO
'Organization for Sustainable
Consumption'. More months of hard
work flowed into the further
development of both the product and
the growth of the team from 4
dedicated employees to over 40
impact-driven people. In November
last year, ecolytiq joined the Visa
Fintech Partner Connect Programme,
opening up new business
ecolytiq offers three core products:
ecoAware (where bank customers see
their environmental footprint, e.g.
CO2) for each bank transaction
through their online banking),
ecoEngage (bank customers learn
what they can do right now to lower
their carbon footprint and, through
feedback loops, how their
sustainability score is performing
over time), and ecoAction (how
people can offset their footprint by
donating to certified sustainable
Thinking about his next step and
purpose in life, a triggering moment
came about when watching a movie
with his two sons about the future of
the planet, explaining what would
happen if humanity failed to solve
the climate crisis. His sons started
crying, and Ulrich decided to act and
apply his knowledge in technology
for the purpose of sustainability. He
is convinced that technology is the
game changer to tackle climate
change on a broader basis.
Later on, he stuck to his childhood
passion for technology, and has
founded multiple companies that
enable new, disruptive business
models through software and
digitalization.
Throughout his life, Ulrich Pietsch
has been fascinated by technology
and started programming computers
when he was only 10 years old.

organizations, plus the option to
invest money into ESG funds). These
three products are unique, because
they incorporate the core ideas of
sustainability: education and action.
Sustainability-conscious consumers
will be more inclined to consider
ESG funds, which makes
sustainability a strong business case
for banks.
We educate consumers about their
individual impact on the environment
and empower them to contribute to a
better world. We offer Sustainability-
as-a-Service for financial institutions.
Q. What is the vision and mission
of the Company?
Investments are the land of milk and
honey for banks. Instead of
considering the climate crisis a
“challenge”, banks should rather
view it as the greatest opportunity.
We are in dire need of completely
overhauling our infrastructure, and
this can only be accomplished
through massive investments in the
right areas. Banks need to recognize
what the right investments are and
which of those investments benefit
our planet and our society. From a
regulatory standpoint, this appears
very complex at first. What is lacking
is transparency that many businesses
still refuse to provide. “Data is the
new gold” – which is true in many
industries, but this approach does not
support sustainability. Solving the
climate crisis is a joint effort, which
means that we must learn to share
our data. Not personal information,
but the crucial information that

differentiates itself from other crypto
wallets due to its focus on peer to

solutions. Making payments to
friends or merchants is as simple as
typing their username and clicking
“Send” and merchants can get started

Q. What is the present scenario of

non-custodial solution that puts the
responsibility of securing the “private
key” for the wallet in the hands of the
individual. This is a big
responsibility, but it provides the
ultimate in security since the private
key owner is the only one who can
access his wallet. Being non-

EVERYTHING ABOUT
CONTACTLESS
CARDS
WHY YOU SHOULD OPT FOR ONE NEXT TIME
™
29. 29 | MARCH 2021
™
he next time you buy or renew your debit
Tor credit card, ask for a contactless card
instead of a normal one. These cards aren't
that expensive and allow you to conveniently pay
your bill without touching any devices.
Considering today's scenario, this feature fits
right into the context of social distancing.
Here's the juice. These EMV cards aren't secured
by some Ironman-like tech, but they surely are
powered by a smart microprocessor chip solution
that helps protect the cardholder's credentials. Its
role is simple. Perform certain cryptographic
computations to encrypt dialogues with the
processing network and Point-of-Sale terminals.
Each contactless card has a unique private and
public key pair that plays an integral role during
authentication. Upon nearing a terminal, the card
generates a valid cryptographic code through one
of the keys to communicate with terminals.
This code authenticates the genuineness of the
card and is unique in every transaction. The
terminal then uses the other key to validate the
code transmitting from cards.
Still, a lot of you might have a question looming in
your mind - what about security? What if someone
stole my card? Well, these questions are justified.
And as a wise consumer, it's natural to have these
questions. So let's decode every security aspect
as we course through every vulnerability of
contactless cards.
The card comes with a Dynamic Data
Authentication (DDA) feature, which is the latest
security innovation in the field of card payments.
So, how does it work?
What secures the card?
No, unless they are anywhere near 4 centimeters
of the card, RFID readers won't be able to read the
card. Contactless cards rely on near field
communication (NFC) technology to communicate
with terminals. Generally, it uses a 13.56Mhz radio
frequency to communicate with the host. As a
result, it is only able to transmit digital data within
a concise range.
Our aim here was to clear some of the clouds so
that people are more open to these new
technologies.
Note, the communication should be direct.
Meaning- if there is anything between the card
and the terminal then the transaction will not be
successful.
As every code transmitted through the chip is
unique, it is virtually impossible to clone or, in that
case, tamper with contactless cards. As a matter
of fact, these cards are far less vulnerable to
counterfeit than magnetic stripe cards.
Can someone use an RFID reader to activate my
card?
What if someone clones it?
Then what's stopping people from buying
contactless cards?
There are various myths roaming around
contactless technology. We have tried to cover a
lot of them in this article and we are sure that
you'll be able to decode the rest after learning
about the security aspects mentioned above.
