Payphone and its First Experience at GAT Expo Cartagena: Expansion and Connections Key to the Future

Payphone debut at GAT Expo Cartagena

It was the first time for Payphone at GAT Expo Cartagena, and Paola Murillo, Business Development Manager of the firm, attended the international event. “We expected a predominance of Colombian businesses, but we are surprised by the participation of various countries, which confirms the regional importance of the show,” she explained.

Interaction with authorities and strenghtening of the sector

Regularization is the first step to ingrede new markets", she affirmed.

Payphone is committed to regional integration and market transformation. Murillo confirmed her interest in participating in future GAT Expo events, with a special focus on Santo Domingo. “Our presence in Central America is solid, and the Caribbean represents a great opportunity to replicate our expansion model.
