Jeff Tijssen has spent his entire career in financial services and worked at many major banks before coming on board at 11:FS. He’s our Head of Consulting and you may have heard him on a few of our Fintech Insider podcasts or know him from working with us on one of our many secret projects. I took a moment to sit down with Jeff and talk to him about transforming big business, where the pain points are for the big businesses and why it matters.

There’s an old saying: The reason God was able to create the earth in 6 days and rest on the 7th is because they didn’t have millions of customers and legacy systems.

So this blog post is a love letter, to those of you in the big organisations, trying to get shit done but feeling hamstrung.

Chase ’s digital-only bank, Finn, launched nationwide in the U.S. a few weeks ago, to piqued interest from fintechs and banks alike. It’s by no means the country’s first digital only bank—Ally and Simple have been around for years—but it has won the race to be the first nationwide digital brand from the United States’ banking giants. (Citi has plans to launch a “national digital bank” soon, while Wells Fargo’s Greenhouse is due to come out of beta in the near future.)
