This week’s Fintech Insider News show was a departure from tradition. Instead of recording in our WeWork offices we took the team on tour, specifically on a pub crawl round London Bridge and Bermondsey and recorded the news show as we went! Listen to the episode in full here, stream it below or read on for the highlights.

Jason Bates interviewed Ritu Liu, Head of EMEA at Alipay at Money20/20 Europe. They spoke about Alipay’s European expansion and her view of Chinese advancements in fintech that are influencing the rest of the world.

While at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Sam Maule, our Managing Partner of 11FS North America caught up with Amber Baldet, an Executive Director at JP Morgan, and the Programme Lead for Blockchain Centre of Excellence.

When building and growing any new business, our thought process is challenged consistently to ensure the proposed course of action delivers a positive impact.

At 11:FS we’re always looking to get young people into fintech. We want to recruit the new wave of young people coming in to the market who want to get ahead. Part of that is our internship programme. But we also take on young people looking for work experience, whether it’s to get a taste of the industry they love or to try something new.Lucy was at 11:FS recently for two days, working in our marketing department and getting to grips with what fintech really means. We asked her a few questions to see what she got out of the experience.

Sam Maule interviewed Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple at Ripple’s own event, Swell, in Toronto, for Blockchain Insider.

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming a (fin)tech OG, Nick Ogden, to our offices to talk founding firms, online commerce and building ClearBank.

Organisation design is essential in building a strong working culture. Getting it wrong can cause a domino effect of problems and inefficiencies across a business.

It is the nature of finance that, at its core, is risk.

Here at 11:FS we’re big on transparency and letting you know what’s going on in our company. We’ve recently made a huge hire to be our COO and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
