In this episode of Searching for Mana, Dan & Sachin are joined by Steffen Vollert, Co-Founder and CEO of Volt.io — one of the leading players driving real-time payments across borders through open banking infrastructure.

From the early days of Volt’s seed raise to the complexity of global expansion — including their launch in Australia — Steffen shares what it takes to build a high-growth payments business without compromising on culture, product, or people.

He unpacks why talent retention and cultural alignment are key differentiators at scale, and how “extreme ownership” has shaped Volt’s internal DNA.

The conversation also dives into:

– The future of Web3 in payments

– How digital assets could accelerate infrastructure

– Why Europe lags behind the U.S. in fintech innovation

– And yes… even a few thoughts on tractors, habits, and consistency

Steffen’s calm, pragmatic approach is matched by a sharp clarity around product and growth — a CEO who codes, thinks, and scales with intention.

A must-listen for anyone building in payments, fintech, or digital infrastructure.
