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.

Paul Worthington, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Innovate Finance and formerly the Public Policy Manager at Meta Fintech

820. Insights: Personalisation in banking
Our expert host, Kate Moody, is joined by some great guests to talk about how personalisation in banking.
Personalisation was one of the key themes that emerged from this year's annual 11:FS Pulse report, which is out now at 11fs.com/report
In the report, our experts, along with others from Monzo, JPMorgan and Nationwide, emphasised the importance of tailored financial services and how customer-centricity will win the day in 2024.
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.
So we want to dive deeper into this.
What does personalisation in banking even mean?
How can it really improve the products or services being offered?
And what are the consequences when it goes wrong?
This week's guests include:
Joe Colchester, Head of Product at 11:FS Pulse
Ross Logan, Chief Product Officer at Snoop
Megan Cooper, Chief Product Officer at ClearBank

818. Insights: How to build trust in financial services
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?
This week's guests include:
Jordan Sinclair, President at Robinhood UK
Monica Hovsepian, Head of Financial Services Industry at OpenText
Aidan Rushby, CEO at Carmoola

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?

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.

792. Insights: Putting services back into financial services
On this episode of Fintech Insider Inisghts, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by our very own CTO Ewan Silver for a fireside chat to unpick what we mean when we say the services have fallen out of financial services.
At 11:FS we believe there’s a real service gap in the industry, where companies have fixated over products or customer numbers or data, rather than the customer themselves and how best to serve them.
It’s also something we often talk to our clients about so today we thought we’d open up that conversation to you, our listeners too.

What does that even mean, I hear you ask?

We also look at the balance between guidance and advice and how to bake this into propositions and how brands can tread the line between the two, while still offering value to customers.

782. Insights: How should we measure success in fintech? (Rewind)
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

This week's guests include:
Rohit Mathur, Head, Bridge built by Citi

Community banks, as a concept, are everything customers often say they want from a financial institution. But, between 2000 and 2020, the total number of community banks in America decreased from over 8,300 to 4,277. That’s a steep decline even as banking generally has become more consolidated and globalised.
In this show, we've put together a panel to discuss: what is the role of community banks in 2023, the challenges and opportunites of innovation, and what the future may look like for these institutions dating back to the 1800s.

Our expert hosts, Ross Gallagher, is joined by some great guests to ask: "Is debt the last taboo of financial services?”
This week's guests include:
Karen Andres, Director, Policy & Market Solutions, Aspen Institute

As an industry, we can talk endlessly about positive user journeys and financial enrichment. But, when it comes to the tough topics it’s a little more challenging to open up.
No topic seems more taboo for the financial services industry than debt. But with people in the UK owing £1.8 billion in 2023 and millions of Americans currently carrying some form of debt – this is a subject far too important to ignore.
We’ve put together a panel of amazing experts to discuss why debt is such a taboo subject, how to help people avoid unworkable debt, and how we improve the debt collection process.

699. Insights: What will define the user experience in financial services this year?
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.
But there’s no set-in-stone rules for these journeys and experiences, and there’s many external factors which may shape a product from one year to the next.
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?

Lindsey Kistler, Product Director - Pulse, 11:FS

697. Insights: Will social media banks ever take off?
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?

694. Insights: Can fintech ever be environmentally sustainable?
Our expert host, Benjamin Ensor, is joined by some great guests to ask: "Can financial services ever be sustainable?”
From the carbon cost of everyday payment transactions, data servers, plastic credit cards, and investments in polluting industries - not to mention the international conferences that require some serious jet-setting – it’s safe to say that our industry has never looked to put its environmental impact front and centre.
But, with global temperatures rising and climates across the globe being altered by our behaviour, can financial services really afford to ignore sustainability any longer?

661. Insights: Can embedded finance bank the unbanked?
Our expert hosts, Ross Gallagher, is joined by some great guests to ask: "Will embedded finance bank the unbanked?"
While you may think ‘unbanked’ and ‘underbanked’ applies to emerging markets, estimates from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) suggest 5.4 percent of U.S. households were “unbanked” in 2019, meaning that no one in the household had a checking or savings account at a bank or credit union.
Today, we’ve put together a panel of experts to discuss: Why are so many people still unbanked? What does embedded finance do differently? What’s possible in the future?
This week's guests include:
David Barton-Grimley, Embedded Financial Services, 11:FS
Bruno Diniz, Co-Founder, Spiralem
Ida Rademacher, Vice President, The Aspen Institute
