🚨SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Please welcome Divan. Divan Myburgh is the co-founder of Swoop. He built his career in traditional finance, culminating in leading operations at a leading foreign exchange treasury banking intermediary. He has since drawn on that experience to launch Lightning rails for South African expats who need to bring funds home efficiently. With specialist knowledge in international money transfers and cross-border payments, Divan understands where deals get stuck: Exchange Controls, due process, and compliance. In practice, these are often the difference between a smooth settlement and a stalled transaction. His operational grounding means clients get clear guidance, clean execution, and fewer surprises when moving funds. Divan is passionate about Bitcoin and self-custody and facilitates brokerage rails in addition to international money transfers. Through efficient use of the Lightning Network, Swoop enables expats to repatriate funds to South Africa at superb exchange rates, with extremely fast settlement, clear pricing, and a process that stays compliant and straightforward.
