On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights our expert hosts, Ross Gallagher and Kate Moody, are joined by some great guests to talk about the ever-growing overlap between big tech and finance. We’ve seen no shortage of companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook in the news over the last year, and as technology becomes more central in our relationship with financial services, big tech will only have a more critical role to play in the future of our industry. So we want to take a step back and understand exactly what big tech’s role in finance currently is, and where they sit on the banking battlefield. What are the use cases? What are the risks? And will we eventually have to do our banking through a VR headset? To discuss this I am joined by a mighty panel of industry experts.

But this personalisation is only possible through real-time data, AI & machine learning, by harnessing behavioural data, and many other recent technological advances which are transforming the financial services landscape.

Our expert host, Ross Gallagher, are joined by some great guests to talk about how to build and keep trust in financial services. The 2008 financial crisis was a pretty pivotal time, to say the least. Suddenly, big banks could fail and our money just didn’t feel as safe as it once did. Trust in the whole system suffered a hit which many thought was irreparable. However, the industry has since gone through a transformative period - improved regulation, more effective governance, and a huge exercise rebuilding that trust with the customer. In a world that now looks so very different from 2008, we want to tackle the tricky matter of trust head on. How do financial services build trust? How do they keep it? And what makes one FS provider more trustworthy than another?

Our expert hosts, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by some great guests to talk about the current state of open banking, how it is transforming financial services and, as more countries push for formal open banking regimes, what does the future hold? This week's guests include: Kiaan Pillay, CEO & Co-Founder at Stitch Andrew Escobar, former Director of Open Finance at MX in Canada About this episode Open banking allows financial institutions to share data and have a more globalised, connected banking system. It enables customers to share personal financial information securely, which can broaden the products and services available to them. For example, personal finance apps help individuals to manage their finances, track spending habits, save and access other financial services, all from one place. Lenders can better evaluate the borrowing power of applicants if they can access their credit history from other FS providers too. And have you ever sent a payment to someone without needing to manually input your bank details? All of this is possible with open banking. So in today’s podcast we are going to take a look at the countries with an established open banking framework, those in the process of creating the regulation for it, and those who are slipping behind, and really understand the current state of open banking around the world today.

Our expert host Ross Gallagher is joined by some great guests to dive into the subject of holistic financial wellbeing. What does that even mean, I hear you ask? Well, we’re going to answer that, while looking at the value add for customers within the ecosystem of one brand, how the brands can cultivate that customer stickiness and retention to keep them within the brand’s umbrella, while offering them new products and services to improve their financial health and management.

This week we’re bringing you a very special rewind show from the Fintech Insider archives. Hosted by Benjamin Ensor and joined by some very special guests from Allica bank, Anthemis and This Week in Fintech, the show asked the question: How should we measure success in fintech?' In a period where valuations are tumbling, we’re seeing fintechs either get bought out entirely or sadly have to shutter their doors, we’re examining whether valuation and customer numbers are the best measure of success for fintech. Should we be paying more attention to profitability or the problems they are solving for their home markets? Or are there even success metrics we haven’t thought of at all? This is as highly relevant a discussion now as it was almost a year ago when we first had it, perhaps even more so. This week's guests include: Katie Palenscar, Managing Director & Global Head of Venture Studio, Anthemis Nik Milanović, Editor, This Week In Fintech Richard Davies, CEO, Allica Bank Come and see the show LIVE at our Fintech Insider: After Dark event on 20th September in London's Village Underground.

Our expert host, Kate Moody, is joined by some great guests to ask: "What will define the user experience in financial services this year?" No matter how amazing your financial services product may be, if the UX isn’t up to scratch, then no one is going to find out.

So what were the successes of 2022, what were the challenges of the last twelve months, and what do we predict will dominate user experiences in 2023?

Our expert host, Nicole Perry, is joined by some great guests to discuss the potential of social media networks becoming banks. At the end of 2022, Elon Musk held a meeting with Twitter employees laying out plans to turn the social network into a bank - complete with a high-yield money market account, debit cards, checks, and loans. Musk is not the first social media mogul to see the power of combining banking and social networks – but, to date, that melding of likes and filters with APIs and KYC has proved difficult in many markets. So how have these two worlds collided so far, what is stopping social media banks from happening, and what could happen in the future?

The financial services industry was rocked by headlines about Wirecard. It filed for insolvency in June 2020 claiming €1.9 billion dollars was “missing” from its balance sheet and slowly the whole sorry story came to light, with everything from embezzlement, racketeering, pornography and the eventual firing and arrest of its CEO Markus Braun.

Our expert host, Sarah Kocianski, is joined by some great guests to dive into the gig economy. The gig economy is en route to generate $455 billion globally by 2023, and in 2020 gig workers represented around 35% of the US workforce. There currently is no universal definition of a gig worker, but one common explanation is that gig workers are independent contractors or freelancers who typically do short-terms work for multiple clients. Why is it so difficult for financial services companies to cater to gig workers? Are the workers' financial needs too unusual? What impact does a growing gig economy have on the financial services industry — does it force providers to look for ways to serve the market to avoid being left behind? These are some of the questions we try to answer on today's episode.

Much like disruptive technology and media companies, for the vast majority of challenger banks, their number one objective has been growth and building a loyal customer base, rather than prioritizing making a profit.

In today’s show, David Brear is joined by some great guests to explore the topic: Adam Davis - Head of Delivery, 11:FS Lianna Brinded - Head of Yahoo Finance UK Alexandra Frean - Head of Corporate Affairs, Starling Tune in for an exploration for why profit has evaded some banks, why it’s such a hot topic in the media and if the goal of profit is even necessary at this stage.

In today's episode, we bring you an interview with Arlan Hamilton, founder and managing partner of Backstage Capital. From improbable beginnings, Arlan Hamilton is making waves in the venture capital space by investing in companies led by underrepresented founders. Less than 10% of all venture capital deals go to women, people of colour, and LGBT founders and Arlan has made it her mission to change that. We kick things off talking about her book It's About Damn Time. With rave reviews from Mark Cuban, Stacey Abrams, and Jameela Jamil, Sam and Arlan discuss the book writing process and how to turn being underestimated into your greatest asset. From sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco International Airport to becoming the first non-celebrity black woman to be featured on the cover of Fast Company, we hear about how Arlan's upbringing, her past life as a tour manager and her unconventional journey through Silicon Valley has shaped both her and the company she runs.
