Happy 2023, fintech fans!
What are our fintech predictions for 2023?
I recently sat down with Rhian Lewis, co-founder of Count My Crypto and Sara Walker from IG to discuss which cryptocurrencies could come close to bitcoin. Take a look at some of the points we covered below, or head over to IG to watch the full interview.
The future is now: how AI will completely disrupt the customer experience
The AI revolution is reshaping financial services with the force of a category-five hurricane. The seismic shifts it’s creating are palpable, with generative AI standing at the forefront of this transformation.
4 fintechs and their winning social features
Once upon a time, social media and finance apps might’ve seemed like strange bedfellows.
What's needed for the next evolution of climate fintech?
COP 27 came and went last month. It’s now time to look back at what happened and what still needs to happen. What can the climate fintech industry in particular reflect and iterate on as we head into 2023?
Why is it so hard for FS companies to get tech right?
Getting tech right in banks is hard. We get this because our experts have worked in some of the biggest financial services institutions and experienced how things can be done differently. In this article, we’ll share some of the insights that we’ve learnt along the way.
How early-stage investors can navigate the most chaotic economy in living memory
Mortgages and ancient sex positions aren’t two things you’d usually put together (or want to read about at the same time, for that matter). But digital mortgage broker Habito has ripped up the rulebook and created a Mortgage Kamasutra book in its place. And we can’t help but respect them for it.
4 fintechs fighting the cost-of-living crisis
Around the globe, millions are feeling the pinch as the cost-of-living crisis continues. The biggest fall in living standards since records began is forecast in the UK, while inflation rates are starting to cool after a tumultuous year across the pond.
How we're taking the awards show to the next level
60% of time spent on the internet in China is on WeChat. For young people, this is their primary gateway to financial services. In fact, in China, more transactions now occur, by volume, through non-banks than through banks. James Lloyd, Asia-Pacific FinTech Leader at EY, talks to us about how tech companies like WeChat are filling market gaps left by the banks.
It’s time for incumbents to invest in web3
One of the phrases you often encounter when reading things about mental health is "It's OK to not be OK." Whilst I get the sentiment, as someone who has been there, it really isn't OK. It sucks.
The next generation of financial services has to be truly inclusive
We all employ a user-centred design (UCD) approach to inform what products we build and how they should work, but all that customer insight gives us one oft-overlooked learning: the actual language customers use to speak about their problems.
What a recession means for fintech
Did you know that when they’re not dishing up masterly analysis, everyone’s favourite web3 wizards - 11:FS Global Strategy Director, Crypto Mauricio Magaldi and Visa Head of Crypto Cuy Sheffield - like to dabble in a spot of divination? I know, right?!
Financing for app and game developers isn’t fit for purpose
As I sit here trying to write something strictly about fintech, there’s only one thing on my mind: how important it is to have an employer that truly values pregnant employees.
How is fintech helping with customer stress?
Tottenham Hotspur are completely cashless (and trophyless) at their new stadium. Lionel Messi has launched the ‘Messiverse’ in partnership with blockchain platform Ethernity. Manchester City and Laybuy have teamed up to offer a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service to fans. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Find yourself an employer that values your pregnancy
