How to Transform Your Bank - Part 1 - Banking’s Red Queen's Race
As a designer, it’s an all too familiar scenario: you’re about to undertake work on an exciting new digital product or service. It has the potential to have it all, only for you to be handed what all product designers dread - the existing constraints of a rigid and outdated brand playbook. It can certainly feel like a crushing blow. But approached in the correct manner, these constraints can be transformed into an opportunity to take both the product and the brand to the next level.
Digital Banking is 1% done
Digital Banking is only 1% Finished. That’s our motto at 11:FS. You can see it plastered across everything we do, we talk about it at events, and it’s in all of our client work.

Digital Banking having 99% to go is a statement of optimism, of opportunity and its how you differentiate, as consumer expectations will only grow in the coming years.

The SEC's verdict on The DAO tokens: explained
A few weeks ago, I outlined the problems with the financial products that supposedly address small and medium sized businesses’ (SMBs) needs, and how they are chronically underserved by incumbent financial institutions (FIs) across all sectors. Since then, we’ve explored how things are changing in the SMB insurance space and delved into the developments in the areas of bank account opening, payments and loans in our podcasts. I’ve also been busy trying to discover, articulate and demonstrate what “best in class” in this industry looks like in my latest research report.
The virtues of digital : creating a truly digital bank
At 11:FS we like to say that digital banking is 1% finished, well the same is true of Open Banking. The unknown potential of the regulation far outstrips what is being done right now. And that potential has caught the imagination of foreign regulators.

Why it’s good to be an SME
If you are an SME, the chances are you have been seriously neglected by your bank. Your accounting software or Excel spreadsheets are probably your only go to points to understand the state of your business. Your invoice management is likely to be scatty at best, and cash flow optimization is probably not something available in a few clicks. Oh, and it probably took you a couple weeks to actually apply and get your bank account.
