Ep. 225. News: Live at Money 20/20 Europe Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

David Simon and Sam are live on the main stage at Money 20/20 covering the latest and greatest in news across the fintech world. Joined by those at the cutting edge of all things fintech, Leda Glyptis, Rob Frohwein, Anna Irrera and Peter Hazou.

It's a different show from usual with our guests coming on in pairs. First up are Leda and Rob to share their views on what's going on in Europe.

Kicking things off, European payments seemingly ground to a halt when Visa suffered a system failure over the past week. The panel have an interesting take on the issue, it is a payments conference after all. Next up, Kabbage competes with PayPal.

Luckily we have the Kabbage CEO on-hand to give us some absolute insight into what's going on there. Finishing up this section, the panel discuss the (un)surprising revelation that Millennials trust tech companies over banks when it comes to personal data.

Our two lovely guests have to leave us but we have two equally brilliant ones in the form of Sara and Jeff, ready to let us know their take on the latest blockchain news.

It's been a weird one for blockchain with the world's largest shipping firm, Maersk, now tracking cargo using blockchain. Maersk is planning to use the technology to fight fraud and reduce paperwork. Binance are planning to create a $1BN investment fund, but with a dead ICO how did they manage to raise $7BN this year?

Next up we have two of the finest fintech minds in the form of Anna Irrera and Peter Hazou to round up the last of the big news stories in fintech this week.

Starling has flown the nest after receiving £80M in funding and splitting from Transferwise, the general thinking is the capital increase is to bid for a share of the Capability and Innovation fund set up by RBS following the banking crisis. Next the panel talk about customer service.

Surveys show that UK digital challengers are beating high-street banks on customer satisfaction. Although apparently high-street banks are doing a few things better. We also take a look at Citi and just why they're crushing the competition in investment in US fintech.

Ep. 224. Insights: SMB Banking... Are you being (under)served? Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

Today's insights show lifts the lid on the pain of SMB Banking as Sarah Kocianski guides us through the three biggest SMB Banking pain points: opening an account, getting a loan, and making and receiving payments.

Fantastic insights are given by small business owners and experts in this sector who give first hand accounts of their own frustrations:

Paul Bulpitt - Head of Accounting at Xero and founder of Wow Company
Sam Booth - CEO of Just After Midnight
Oren Greenberg - Digital Marketing Manager at Kurve,

There are approximately 5.7m SMBs in the UK right now, and they employ almost 16 million people. Together they turn over £1.8 trillion per year, which makes no small contribution to the UK economy and GDP. But why are they so badly served? Sarah endeavours to find out and to look towards the future of SMB Banking and what is going to improve.

Ep. 222. Fintech Insider Insights: Gimme Some Credit Jun 01, 2018

Show notes

The opaque nature of the credit world is scary, some might say Orwellian, but mostly just really confusing. You have to hand over your data, which is subsequently regurgitated into a number...where that number comes from is seemingly unclear.

We speak to industry experts about the current state of credit scoring, and also where it will potentially go in the future. What is being done to avoid a black mirror-esque dystopia? What companies are becoming first movers in this space, to create a more transparent business models that actually help people in their daily lives. We also heard from the general public on their experiences with the credit system and why they find it unfair. The impact credit scoring has on people's lives is extraordinary- yet we're only seeing these business models starting to surface. Some would say it's a been a long time coming...

Ep. 220. Fintech Insider Insights: Dirty Data May 25, 2018

Show notes

Did you know that you have a digital twin? Someone is the data version of yourself that lives and breathes the internet. The problem, in this digital world, is that Digital You leaves a digital footprint everywhere you go. Everywhere...

Every app and tab you open, every T-shirt you buy online, every social media account you create, all leave a trail of data behind you. Now you might not think this is important, but have you ever wondered how it's being used. Why are companies like Facebook and Google gathering data about Digital You? Why is it so profitable for them? And if there's so much value at stake....why are we not offered anything in return for it?

This is where GDPR steps in. It's power to the people: digital-style. Your inbox may have been flooded by a mixture of panicky, scary and funny emails asking you to read through some updated T's & C's for seemingly everything you've ever signed up to. They may reference something called GDPR, but what is this? How does it help us, the consumer, squeeze more value out of the apps and digital services we use?

Ryan and Petrit take us on a data-filled journey, with a series of stories, as well insights from industry experts weaved in to make sure you don't get bored of their voices.
