On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights host Kate Moody is joined by Xavier Shay - CEO of Up.

Since it launched as Australia’s first mobile-only digital bank back in 2018, Up has set out to connect younger consumers with digital savings, payments and lending.

Up will soon celebrate its sixth birthday, and is on track in its birthday month (October) to announce that it’s hit the million customers milestone.

We're big fans of Up here at 11:FS(as evident by their two 11:FSAwards nominations), so it was a real joy to sit down with Xavier and get the inside scoop on how and why Up was started, as well as their plans for the future.

Enjoy!
