The Race for the Remedies Fund
Seven years ago, the first new retail bank in the UK in almost a century got its licence to open, as Chris Skinner noted in a recent blog post. Now, there are nearly 50 banks in the pipeline: app-only startup banks, foreign exchange payment cards, personal financial management apps, business accounts, and more. How are they all going to make money? And how will they differentiate themselves enough to win the hearts of customers?

But how do you strengthen your core when you’re stuck with a Frankenstein legacy system? In episode 225 of FinTech Insider Insights, we break down what you need to do.
The ROI of Fruit
Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US published an official report, following an investigation into a token sale by an organisation called The DAO, where it decided that these particular tokens the DAO were offering were in fact, securities and therefore subject to the requirements of the federal securities law in the US.

Wealth is the next big fintech game changer
If there is one thing we don’t talk about enough in the start-up world, it’s mental wellbeing. That’s strange, because it’s one of the most crucial things to get right in your company. I used to think that company culture is built on leadership and focus. I also used to believe that negative attitudes at work cannot lead to poor mental health or affect perceptions of health, beliefs, and results. Well, today is a different day. Armed with the growing awareness of the impact wellbeing can have on employees, businesses and the obvious link between positive workplace culture and productivity, I’m here to bust the myth that every start-up has a cut-throat environment which grinds down its employees.
