Facebook wants its users to spend and transfer money through its new virtual currency - planned for next year. But global banking bosses aren't happy - and consumers are asking the question, can Facebook be trusted?

Joining us at the Roundtable: James Bennett, the co-founder of Bitassist, which advises on cryptocurrencies; Fran Boait, Executive Director of Positive Money UK which campaigns for money and banking systems to be fair and democratic; Hussein Kanji, Founding Partner at venture capitalists Hoxton Ventures; and Sharon Kimathi, Editor at FinTech Futures online magazine.

Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
