About this episode:

Host David Barton-Grimley, Director of Strategy and Head of Product at 11:FS, is joined by a fantastic panel of guests as we dive into some of the biggest stories from the worlds of fintech, banking, and wider financial services this week.

Stories covered on the podcast this week include:

As AWS outages shook the world this week, we explore how the disruption sent ripples through the fintech industry. We also speak with Tink about their expansion into the Pay by Bank market across France, Germany, and Austria, in partnership with Splitwise. Joining us as well is Paymentology, who share insights into their exciting Paycredit launch - a cloud-first credit ledger platform designed to help financial institutions build flexible, feature-rich credit products.

Elsewhere, Revolut has secured a banking licence - but why in Mexico and not the UK? We find out. Plus, we unpack what Zilch and Plaid’s latest partnership means for open banking repayments, and wrap up the show with a spooky, fintech-themed surprise for our panellists.

This week's guests:

  • Ian Morrin, Head of Payments at Tink

  • Merusha Naidu, Global Head of Partnerships at Paymentology

  • Pablo Viguera, co-CEO at Belvo
