The status quo in the financial services sector is constantly changing. Innovation is the name of the game. If banks want to stay relevant in these evolving times, they need to be at the technological forefront and provide convenient, flexible payment solutions customers trust.

Ramana Kumar joins Arjun on the couch to share his perspective on this fascinating topic. Ramana is the CEO of Magnati, the payments subsidiary of First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB). He is responsible for building lifecycle solutions for corporates, including merchant acquiring, government solutions and prepaid solutions, constructed on a futuristic platform backed by data and AI. Ramana works with fintechs and tech companies to provide industry-leading, future-proofed, digital-first solutions. 

Ramana and Arjun discussed the role partnership and brand affinity play in constructing a platform that consumers will gravitate towards and the importance of being trustworthy, flexible and convenient.
