You’re building the first banking ecosystem on Mars. Where do you begin?

Why finbot accessibility will make you the next industry disruptor
Finbots are financial chatbots that, at the lowest level, can answer customer questions and perform basic tasks such as providing account balances or updating personal information.This article was written by Jilly Li - an Eleven intern who recently spent an action-packed six weeks in the Consulting and Research team. Alongside conducting customer research, identifying market opportunities and learning all about the business, she also wrote this awesome article.

Customers don’t care for your corporate jargon
Word soup. That's the jargon used to communicate the story and values of a business. It's what we tell our clients to actively pay attention to and what to avoid when working together to develop new disruptive propositions to take to market.

Design drill down #4 | Back to the drawing board
In this design drill down, we’re looking at how top French fintechs are transforming the way we bank with gesture-based actions and how they are simplifying insurance by putting the customer at the heart of the experience.
How to (properly) scale agile
FinTech Insider takes a field trip to Monzo to chat to Jonas Huckestein (Co-Founder/CTO), Leah Templeman (Head of Operations), and Hugo Cornejo (Head of Design).

Tried and tested org design: learnings to help you find the right strategy
In this guest blog, Rafael Plantier - country manager for the UK and Ireland at Tink, discusses the results of their latest research into the status of European bank's APIs, two months on from the PSD2 deadline.
Agile isn’t the silver bullet you thought it was
When seventeen self-professed ‘organisation anarchists’ sat down one day in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, they probably didn’t realise the extent to which their words would impact the world. A sea change in management thinking, scores of new words added to the global lexicon and widespread shunning of old methodologies – the Agile Manifesto was the early trumpet call which heralded the phenomenal rise of global tech giants.

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.
Building a bank? Here’s why you should use Kotlin

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?
