Great stuff! I've been watching fintech and its really pulling my interest in. Fintech are on the rise

I have tons of questions to ask but no sure the best medium. Like, how does one start a remittance startup from scratch as a software developer? My knowledge is limited to stock and trading in financial space. Should I pursue CFA to get a idea of remittance industry and get my share ?

Or, say you are from Panama and want to start a mobile banking startup - a clone of Alipay - transaction via QR codes only, how do you get up to speed with it?

I'd advise you begin by understanding the regulation in the markets you want to service. If this is just Panama, and you want to begin with domestic interactions, then understand what license, if any, you need in order to process payments or hold funds on behalf of your users.
