Design drill down #3
In this design drill down, we’re looking at products and services that have gone back to the drawing board to solve a problem in a new innovative way.
Building a bank? Here’s why you should use Kotlin
Backend development for greenfield banking requires a special set of needs. We use Kotlin as our programming language. Here’s why.
Org design isn't a people chart, it's the foundation of a good company culture
2017 is drawing to a close, it’s been an amazing year for fintech and banking, there’s been so many changes, new companies, products, services and innovation across the industry. For a full rundown of the best (and worst) stories from 2017, listen to our After Dark Christmas Special where we recap the whole year. However, as 2018 is fast approaching, we’re looking ahead and getting some predictions in for the next year. We asked the 11:FS co-founders and team and our Fintech Insider News community what they thought would be the big themes of 2018. The biggest topics were as follows:
11:FS wins the three-peat at the British Bank Awards
I am a big basketball fan. It was my love, my passion, before I really even knew what financial services was. Back then my life was focused on how good my crossover was, how clean my kicks were and whether I could dunk rather than whatever it is I do today as the CEO of 11:FS!
Forget agile, ethics is the new battleground
After a decade of intense innovation, the mood across global financial services has turned sharply. Optimism has given way to fear and long-term ambition has been shelved for short-term survival.
Why we decided to build an operating system
Up until recently, if you wanted to launch a financial product, you either had to work directly with the deep financial infrastructure yourself or use a core banking system, which has all sorts of rules and parameters, to interact with the financial infrastructure.
I’ve incentivised innovation, why aren’t my employees innovating?
At one of our Truly Digital After Dark events, Anne Boden said “if you call yourself digital, you’re not digital”.
When creating frictionless experiences isn’t the best option
Making a user's experience seamless is the goal of every designer, but with real life implications for customer financial health, is it time we rethink our approach?
Want to build better customer solutions? Ask better questions
With 11:FS Pulse you can.
What does effective growth marketing look like for B2B in the 2020s?
We’re now a week on from one of the most exciting events of the year for us; the 11:FS Awards. It’s the one (and only) time we get dressed up snazzy and come together to celebrate some of the most impactful businesses and people who are changing the fabric of financial services.
Design drill down #2
In our third design drill down, we’re looking at how new approaches to insurance can bring innovative uses of technology, turn claim making into an enjoyable experience and bring a fresh perspective to big life decisions.
Are you producing prototypes too early?
There is a popular belief that you have to 'make it real' as quickly as possible – “come on, just f*****g build the thing - it's the only way to learn!”. In many scenarios this belief is a dangerous myth, and here's why...
What FS companies are getting wrong with their cloud based solutions
After a busy year in crypto, 11:FS co-founder Simon Taylor checks in on his 2019 predictions to see what he got right and what he missed.
Diversity and inclusion at 11:FS
GDPR, MiFID II, Solvency II, SCA, PSD2, Brexit… The past decade has been pretty hard on Compliance teams if not only for all the acronyms they need to remember.
Privacy and security are not optional in MVPs
Over the past few months, 11:FS Ventures has seen a spike in interest from clients in private banking and wealth management.
