What do film festivals and fintech events have in common? We sat down with Damir Čaušević and Nikola Škorić — the visionaries behind Money Motion — to find out.
In this video interview, Damir Čaušević and Nikola Škorić reflect on the journey of Money Motion, from its inception to its current status as a leading fintech event in Central and Eastern Europe. The idea was born from a clear gap in the regional event landscape—there wasn’t a major fintech-focused conference. Inspired in part by film festivals, the founders aimed to create a relaxed, engaging atmosphere that welcomed both industry veterans and newcomers.
They share how the event has grown—not only in size but in scope. The quality of discussions, diversity of topics, and calibre of speakers have increased significantly, making Money Motion a must-attend event in the fintech calendar.
Beyond the event, both speakers bring deep industry expertise. Damir, active in payments since 2013, speaks passionately about trends such as digital wallets, instant payments, and the vertical integration of payment services. Meanwhile, Nikola highlights the exciting convergence of crypto and banking, a dialogue that Money Motion has helped foster over the past three years.
He’s particularly watching stablecoins as a bridge to future payment systems, emphasising their potential once regulatory clarity improves. Both stress the importance of local adaptation and cultural understanding in creating interoperable payment systems across Europe—especially in the fragmented CEE region.
