Why is China so far ahead on fintech? Guest author Richard Davies went to China earlier this year to see for himself. These are his findings:

Born and raised in a small town in central India, Deputy Mayor for Business in London, Rajesh Agrawal, moved to London in 2001 at 24. He arrived at Heathrow with £200 in his pocket and without knowing a soul. But he still felt at home in London, citing that feeling as one of the best things about the city. Rajesh set up his own business in international payments before the term fintech even existed and now he’s working to help other fintech entrepreneurs succeed in London. Listen to our CEO, David M. Brear interview him here or click play below.

Sharing our stories, our challenges, and the things that truly matter to us. Today we talk to Jamie Clements from the 11:FS Pulse team to discuss mental health, opening up and what led him to creating a podcast about these complex issues.

It’s no secret that mortgages are a broken process. Research by Habito revealed that 62% of those who go through the process felt stressed out. And from personal experience, I can tell you that remortgaging is a hugely difficult and opaque process. How can this be the case in 2019?

eBay announced recently that it would begin offering merchants access to credit in partnership with Square Capital as of Q3 2018. eBay sellers will be able to apply for loans from $500 to $100,000. Square is facilitating the process, which can be done entirely digitally and sees successful applicants receive funds in as little as 24 hours. The partnership is interesting for two main reasons — it signals a deepening commitment from eBay to providing financial products and the joint offering marks another powerful entrant to the SMB lending space.

The whydunit is an increasingly popular narrative. More often than not the motives behind a decision are more interesting than the decision itself, so I’ve taken a look at the motives behind big banks and their fixation with challengers.

It’s time to accept that digitisation is not going to create the step change needed. Banks need to realise the benefits of being born digital and the boost to services it provides.
