Global Fintech Innovation Network: Beyond the Sandbox
The first adopters in the digital banking world are beginning to use native iOS features to enhance the customer experience. With Touch ID now a hygiene feature, we are seeing banks introduce and improve upon their Force Touch capabilities. And in the past few months, a handful of brands have taken things to the next level by offering Siri and Messages payments (albeit with a few kinks in the journey). In this article we explore how banks are going native.

Banks need to be smarter not move faster
Banks are plagued by a litany of archaic processes and outmoded design. That was just about bearable before the digital age, but is there any room for it today?
Why Fintechs Need to Focus on Financial Education for Customers
Financial education is vital to the success of many new fintechs. After all, if customers don’t know what they need then how are they going to know if a product is useful for them?
Banks and fintechs working together
Fintechs and the major financial services have been competing against each other for a while now. But that’s not likely to be the best course of action for either of them and now they’re working together.
The world turns to Open Banking

From Insect to Immense: Why Ant Financial is so Massive
There have always been everyday tasks that seem complex, boring or too disinteresting for us to give them our full attention.

This is taken from our Unfiltered newsletter. Subscribe now for a no BS, uncensored analysis of fintech news and hot topics delivered to your inbox each fortnight.

11 Stupidest Things Fintechs Say
Last week I spoke to friends of 11:FS to discover the 11 stupidest things banks do. It was more popular than any of us expected. It even compelled 11:FS Co-Founder, Simon Taylor to write a love letter to the big banks telling them how they can do better. Here at 11:FS we felt like maybe we’d been a little harsh on our incumbent friends. So, I decided to write another list, reaching out to both the wider fintech community and all our followers to find out the 11 stupidest things fintechs say and do.
Why Big Business Needs to Transform
Jeff Tijssen has spent his entire career in financial services and worked at many major banks before coming on board at 11:FS. He’s our Head of Consulting and you may have heard him on a few of our Fintech Insider podcasts or know him from working with us on one of our many secret projects. I took a moment to sit down with Jeff and talk to him about transforming big business, where the pain points are for the big businesses and why it matters.
You cut me deep big bank, but I got you
There’s an old saying: The reason God was able to create the earth in 6 days and rest on the 7th is because they didn’t have millions of customers and legacy systems. That said, millions of customers and legacy systems can lead to some odd practices that never get questioned. I hear it a lot from people who work at big banks; change is hard, change takes time and getting something delivered no matter how small is a giant victory. This is what inspired our listicle last week. Many of us at 11:FS have been there one way or another, and we’re inspired by the fact that there’s so much to do in digital banking (It is still only 1% finished after all). So this blog post is a love letter, to those of you in the big organisations, trying to get shit done but feeling hamstrung.
