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.

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.
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?

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.
Courageous conversations with Ren Binden
“...we need accomplices, abolitionists, and activists to bring about systemic change and right injustices, at every level.” This Pride month, we’re focusing on troublemakers. Definition: troublemaker (noun); someone who causes problems by making others argue or not obey people in authority.
