  • Ep229 – 10x CEO Antony Jenkins on Startup Life and the Future of Banking

    24/03/2017 Duração: 20min

    In this episode Antony Jenkins, former CEO of Barclays, has spent 35 years working in large financial services institutions. He says that it struck him that, although there’s a lot of technology in banks, it doesn’t help much when it comes to improving the customer experience or lowering costs, and it hasn’t improved the reputation of banks within society. He founded 10x to create a new banking experience — one that is more diverse, open, and fair. In this episode, he talks to us about his new company, the future of banking, and the transition from running one of the biggest banks in the world to founding a startup. “When I left Barclays, I began to look at what was happening, not only in the FinTech scene, but also with the underlying technologies. I became convinced that there was an opportunity to create the beginnings of a very different way of doing banking,” Antony says. “We set up 10x to deliver the capability to do that. It’s basically a full set of capabilities that a bank would need to operate.

  • Ep228 – Challenger Banks: The Battle Begins

    22/03/2017 Duração: 37min

    In this episode We’ve brought together some of our favourite folks from the world of FinTech challenger banks. In this episode, we talk to Starling, Fidor, and Loot about their business models, who their customers are, and how they’re using technology and data to provide a great customer experience. We also discuss the challenges they’re facing, what agile really means, and what’s coming up for them in 2017. Enjoy the show! Our guests Megan Caywood, the Chief Platform Officer at Starling Bank Sophie Guibaud, the Vice President of European Expansion at Fidor Ollie Purdue, Founder and CEO at Loot “We like to spend a lot of time talking with our customers,” Megan says, “not just usability sessions, but chatting with them and understanding how they’re currently using their banking products and where those pain points are. What we hear time and again is that what they’re used to expecting –  seamlessness and ease of use from other apps and products – just isn’t what they see from their bank.” Learned som

  • Ep227 – Tantric Blockchain and Other FinTech Fun

    20/03/2017 Duração: 01h09min

    In this episode On this episode of FinTech Insider we cover all sorts of intrigue, from money laundering, to tantric blockchain, to narcotics.

  • Ep226 – FCA Policy Director David Geale on the Thought Behind the Regulatory Sandbox

    17/03/2017 Duração: 08min

    In this episode The  Financial Conduct Authority’s progressive regulatory policies have been credited with helping to make London one of the world’s finest FinTech centres. In episode 126 of FinTech Insider, we spoke with several participants of the FCA’s regulatory sandbox, created as a ‘safe space’ for startups and companies to test ideas before becoming fully regulated. In this episode, we interview FCA Policy Director David Geale on the thought behind the sandbox, and more. Enjoy the show! “The sandbox is there for firms who really need to test in a live environment,” David says. “The example I often give is around disclosure. If I actually present something to you and say, ‘This is the current disclosure, here’s a new version, which one of these do you prefer? Which one of these do you understand?’ well, to a degree, that’s cheating. It’s better than nothing in terms of testing, but you’ve cheated, because you’ve got people to read it in the first place, and that’s generally the core challenge, is ge

  • Ep225 – Rotten to the Core Banking

    15/03/2017 Duração: 42min

    In this episode Technology is failing banking. Bankers know what a great customer experience should look like, but they’re often prevented from delivering on that due to ancient legacy systems. And as long as they operate in a cobbled environment with 1,000 subsystems, they will never have a truly digital bank. Meaning they can’t compete with the banks that will win in the future. But don’t despair. Our guests discuss the steps to take to create a state-of-the-art core banking system that can deliver next-gen solutions. Our guests Mark Warrick, Director of Creative & Design at Thought Machine Ben Robinson, Chief Strategy Officer at Temenos Conor Fennelly, CEO at Leveris “The nature of this problem is systemic, it’s not symptomatic,” Conor says. “Banks are not afraid to invest in their technology. In fact, they invest massively in technology. The real issue is that it’s not effective spend, and the real problem facing most CEOs or boardrooms in banks is the risk associated with making the move. “Bank

  • Ep224 – Taking the Bull by the Horns

    13/03/2017 Duração: 01h05min

    In this episode Taking the bull by the horns. We absolutely loved the statue that Wall Street fund manager State Street installed as part of International Women’s Day. A bronze girl faces the bull of Wall Street as part of a campaign to encourage companies to put more women on their boards. FinTech Insider co-host Simon Taylor saw a second message in the symbolism: State Street will protect your money, standing up to the scary market without fear. Another best-in-class example of good marketing this week: the customer communications that came out of the FinTech firms’ outage. Monzo, Loot, and other companies got a thumbs up from customers for the transparent way they managed the issue. Hear all about this and more on this week’s FinTech Insider News.

  • Ep223 – WeChat Africa CEO Brett Loubser on the Power of the Platform

    09/03/2017 Duração: 23min

    In this episode As CEO of WeChat Africa, Brett Loubser’s role is to leverage the WeChat platform to the greatest extent possible in Africa. However, the market conditions in this continent are completely different from China. A focus on a chat app didn’t make sense for Africa, given the significant competitor products. Instead, Brett and his team focused on ‘the absolute power of the platform.’ In this episode of FinTech Insider, Brett shares great examples of how working with partner companies has proven to be such a great business model. “Our first major push into showcasing the power and potential of WeChat as a platform was the launch of Cliff Central,” Brett says. “We worked with a very bright young chap by the name of Gareth Cliff, who is one of the biggest media personalities in South Africa. At the time, he was the most popular radio DJ on the biggest free-to-air radio station in the country. He was looking to launch something of his own, and so we launched a digital radio station along with him o

  • Ep222 – FinTech Out of Africa

    08/03/2017 Duração: 38min

    In this episode FinTech isn’t disrupting the financial industry in Africa – it’s building it across the continent. And because it’s being building without much legacy, by default it’s digital as a platform. In this episode of FinTech Insider Insights, we’ll shine a light on some great FinTech stories coming out of Africa, including approaches and ideas that incumbent institutions will find incredibly useful. Our guests Gerhard Coetzee, Lead Financial Sector Specialist at CGAP Lesley-Ann Vaughan, M-PESA Co-Creator Ron Webb, Director of Financial Services at Safaricom Brett Loubser, CEO at WeChat Africa “I’m extremely excited by how we’re going to see an increasing daily relevance of payments in people’s lives,” Ron says. “P2P transactions have been hugely important, and have been the bedrock of what M-PESA became. But you only send money P2P to your relatives, or people that you’re supporting, on a periodic basis. But you do merchant payments every single day – and many of them – and the increasing use

  • Ep221 – Orange is the New Bank

    06/03/2017 Duração: 01h08min

    In this episode Is PSD2 an opportunity or a headache for banks? FinTech Insider News guest Ben Robinson says we’re still underestimating the magnitude of what the regulators are asking banks to do, “which is basically to put their inventory online. Asking banks to give up their transactional data is like asking Google to give up its metadata.  You can see why banks wouldn’t want to.” Also in the news, Monzo’s crowdfunding (and outage); our new favorite rap song; and Orange is the new bank.

  • Ep220 – Blythe Masters on Blockchain’s Once in a Generation Opportunity

    03/03/2017 Duração: 26min

    In this episode Blythe Masters spent 27 years at JP Morgan in a variety of roles, including running the global commodities business, working in structured credit and fixed income markets, and serving as CFO of JP Morgan’s global investment bank. After leaving in 2014, she planned on taking a year off, but then blockchain caught her eye and she joined Digital Asset, where she’s CEO. In this interview, Blythe describes their technology as blockchain-inspired, explains what this means, and shares what Digital Asset is working on. “This is a once in a generation opportunity to fundamentally change the way the financial market infrastructure works,” Blythe says, “and that is for the greater good of everybody.” Like this episode?

  • Ep219 – CIO Special: How to Change Your Culture

    01/03/2017 Duração: 46min

    In this episode When it comes to innovation, can big, established banks compete with agile startups? Culture is the major barrier to digital transformation for larger organizations, so we talked to execs at the Global CIO Banking Summit to get their insight. Stay tuned for actionable examples on how to change your culture, how to measure this, and where to look for inspiration. “At DBS, we gave up our training budget of sending executives to fancy business schools and have started putting them through hackathon experiences,” says Paul Cobban, COO, Technology & Operations at DBS Bank. “You take these guys and you give them three days of digital exposure, and then for two days they work with a real startup on a real problem. So you get the stodgy banker meets the 22-year-old coder, and the stodgy banker says, “Let me tell you how this is going to be,” and then the 22-year-old coder says, “I don’t think so,” and so you go through this storming, norming, performing cycle in about half an hour, and then they’r

  • Ep217 – EY’s James Lloyd: China’s Not Just Mobile First – Often It’s Mobile Only

    24/02/2017 Duração: 35min

    In this episode We talk to James Lloyd about the incredible FinTech innovation and uptake happening not only in China, but across Asia. James is the Asia-Pacific FinTech Leader at EY, and our point of reference for most of the phenomenal stats coming out of the region. Did you know that during Chinese New Year – which is only 6 days – 46 billion transactions happened on WeChat alone? That’s 46 billion “red packets” – the money you send as gifts. 46 billion! “In London, getting access to a bank account or a credit card or a basic investment or savings product is relatively straightforward,” James says. “In China, traditionally the banks have focused on supporting corporates and state-owned enterprises. So there has been this unmet need, this market gap, that the big technology players have really moved pretty aggressively to fill.” If you enjoyed this episode, please share the love and tell a friend about FinTech Insider, and leave us a review on iTunes—this helps people find us.

  • Ep216 – The First 5 Steps to Transform Your Bank

    22/02/2017 Duração: 30min

    Our mantra is digital banking is only 1% finished, and people usually react in two ways to this. Either they believe banking has got miles to go when it comes to tech advancements, or they think digital is merely a way to distribute analogue products. At 11:FS, we believe we’ve got 99% to go, and we’re really excited about the future of banking. But how do we get there? At a recent event in Oulu, Finland, 11:FS CEO David Brear shared the first 5 steps to transform your bank. Watch the video.

  • Ep215 – Cookies, Funny Money & What if Amazon Buys Capital One?

    20/02/2017 Duração: 01h11min

    In this episode Amazon is looking to buy Capital One, or so goes the rumour. It’s been predicted for a long time that Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon would get into financial services, but Amazon is the only one of those companies that specifically needs a payments facility in their core business. James Arscott, CCO of invstr, joins us to discuss this and other headlines, including bitcoin going from funny money to something legit in Japan. We also talk to TrueLayer CEO Francesco Simoneschi on banks becoming software companies; to BBVA Open Innovation Manager Marisol Menendez about BBVA’s competition to find a new model for low interest rate banking; and BodeTree CEO Chris Myers about the three steps FinTechs need to take to survive.

  • Ep214 – Monzo: The First Truly Digital Bank

    17/02/2017 Duração: 34min

    In this episode When most banks are bribing people to join with £100 or a Rihanna CD, Monzo is doing the opposite: building a bank customers love, involving them in its development, and being so amazing the network blows up like Facebook. Monzo, the bank that broke Crowdcube, now has more than 100,000 customers. Next milestone: 1 million. Here’s how they’ll do it. “We’re trying to build the first bank with real network effect. Skype is a great example. The more people you bring onto Skype, the more people you can call,” Tom says. “How did Instagram or Snapchat or Facebook grow? It wasn’t marketing. It was an amazing product with true network effect. We’re trying to learn those lessons. 85 or 90% of our new signups come through referral.” Loving this podcast?

  • Ep213 – Bank Business Models: The Last Bastion of Innovation

    15/02/2017 Duração: 55min

    In this episode Innovation isn’t having an app – it’s having a new business model. Yet for banks, business models are one of the hardest things to innovate around. We discuss what’s broken with traditional bank business models, and how to create new ones, with two people who know best: Tom Blomfield, CEO of Monzo, and Dora Ziambra, Head of Business Development at Azimo. “For me, and many people in the industry, being a marketplace bank is the future,” Tom says. “It’s a customer interface that acts as a platform for all of your financial problems. So a single interface that gives you access to the Azimos and the Funding Circles and the Transferwises, with a delightful, one-click user experience, but still giving you the benefits of that choice and that customer service. So, sort of, looser recoupling around APIs.” If you liked this interview, please review us on iTunes. To learn more about the team that brings you FinTech Insider, visit 11fs.co.uk.

  • Ep211 – Token CEO Steve Kirsch

    10/02/2017 Duração: 25min

    In this episode Serial tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch (@stkirsch) has founded seven companies and earned a name for himself as the inventor of the optical mouse. Today he’s CEO of Token, a global open API banking platform. Steve says that, historically, banks have operated on limited hours. Central banks have similar systems to be compatible, which has led to architectures that are nowhere near as complex as doing real-time systems. But then internet came along and changed people’s expectations. “Now banks sort of have to be open 24/7, and yet the underlying systems haven’t caught up with that,” Steve says. “And so the challenge is to create technology that can layer on top of the existing banking system that would enable people to have the level of service that they expect, and yet not disrupt things below the decks. It’s almost like putting a modern façade on top of an old cruise ship. That’s essentially what we’ve done. [If] we need more engine power, we call down through certain interfaces and say,

  • Ep210 – Rainmaking Summit: Show Me How to Innovate

    08/02/2017 Duração: 58min

    In this episode Liz Lumley, Managing Director of Thought Leadership at Rainmaking, says a woman approached her at one of their events recently and said, “I’m here because I get told all the time: You need to work with startups, and then no one tells me how.” The Rainmaking Summit was designed to give people like her the tools they need to make innovation happen. Straight talk. No bullshit. We sit down with key participants in London to get the lowdown. “We need to move from ROI to R&D,” says Nektarios Liolios, CEO & Co-Founder, Startupbootcamp FinTech. “R&D implies failure. It implies experimentation, and just keep trying, keep trying until it works, right? Having been in the financial industry for nearly 20 years now, we don’t have that. There is no concept of building product, or doing anything, with an R&D mentality. Whereas any other industry has that.” Guests Liz Lumley, Managing Director of Thought Leadership, Rainmaking @LizLum Will Bentinck, Head of Careers, Makers Academy @isoworg Nektar
