As the German challenger prepares to leave British shores, what can we learn about its attempts to break into the market?

Group CEO David M. Brear recently sat down with the good folks at prepaid business card provider Soldo to discuss the rise of fintech since the 2008 financial crisis and how the UK came to prominence.

What. A. Year. 2019 has been an absolute whirlwind of growth and expansion and in true 11:FS style, we continued to ramp up and start new things right up until the last day of Q4.

On the last American holiday before Christmas, we look at the performance of three companies across the pond.

At 11:FS, we’re proud to be an integral part of a UK community at the forefront of post-financial crisis innovation. But the story of how that community came together has never been told… until now.

Last year, LinkedIn honoured us as a Top 25 Startup in the UK. And they’ve gone and done it again for 2019.

When brands decide it’s time to build their community, they dive straight onto social media. It makes sense right? Social media gives you a platform to instantly connect with a huge number of people all over the world. Social media gives you a shortcut to connect, share, get feedback, and generally tell people what you’ve got going on. This is taken from our Unfiltered newsletter.

Banking for SMEs has been ineffective for a long time, with products that kept owners working on admin rather than growth. It’s time for something new.

Under Friday night lights and in appalling conditions of driving wind and rain, the mighty 11:FC overcame all odds to bring home a 2-1 victory over office neighbours, Yieldify FC.

Former Apple and BCG Digital Ventures Head of Talent will manage 11:FS team to scale the business as it engages in new projects, with new clients and across new geographies.
