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? In episode 228 of FinTech Insider, we discuss with guests from FinTech challenger banks Fidor, Starling Bank, and Loot.

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.
