About this episode:
Host Ross Gallagher, Head of Consulting is joined by a fantastic panel of guests as we dive into some of the biggest stories from the worlds of fintech, banking, and wider financial services this week.
Stories covered on the podcast this week include:
On this week’s episode, Tide has expanded its SMB offering with the launch of its latest connected insurance product. Klarna has entered the stablecoin market, and we dig into what this bold move means for the BNPL giant. Over in the UAE, Wio Bank has introduced Wio Family, a first-of-its-kind banking experience in the region.
We also break down why Chase’s new partnership with TfL has everyone buzzing about its cashback promises. In other news, Wise has become the first non-bank to go live on Japan’s Zengin system — we explore why that’s such a big deal.
And finally, we look at what David Beckham is doing with Bank of America, which naturally leads us to the very important question: Who would be your dream fintech ambassador?
