Zand, the first digital bank to provide both retail and corporate banking is set for imminent launch in the UAE, subject to final regulatory approvals. Is Zand the way of future banking? Can traditional banks transform and catch up with fintech digital platforms that are emerging?

Those are just some of the questions we got to ask Olivier Crespin, Co-Founder and CEO of Zand, and General Partner at True Global Ventures.

Olivier explained the role of digital platforms like Zand in the future finance ecosystem and pointed out the challenges that the traditional banking sector is facing with the shift of the market towards digital natives.

Listen to Olivier talk about:

- Why Zand is not a bank but a digital platform with a banking license

- The areas on which the Zand is focusing

- What type of “banks” will survive the “Big Shift”
