Fintech Insider Podcast by 11:FS

About this episode:

Quantum computing has been hailed as the next major technological breakthrough. But what does it actually mean for financial services, and how soon could it start making a difference?

From financial modelling and risk assessment to portfolio optimisation and payments, they discuss where quantum technology could deliver real value and what's still holding it back.

About this episode:

From hedge funds to building AI agents, Samantha McBride's journey into fintech has been anything but conventional.

In this bonus episode of Fintech Insider Insights, David M. Brear is joined by Samantha McBride, founder and CEO of Ani Tech, to explore how AI agents are transforming financial services and why firms that fail to embrace the technology risk being left behind.

Samantha shares how a New Year's resolution to learn coding with her mum led her to leave a career in hedge funds and launch her own AI company. They discuss how Ani Tech is helping firms like Octopus Money automate workflows, where AI is already delivering real value, and what's holding financial institutions back from adoption.

Guests:

Samantha McBride - CEO of Ani Tech

About this episode:

As AI agents become capable of automatically moving money, optimising savings and making financial decisions on our behalf, could they fundamentally challenge the way banks make money?

Host Ross Gallagher is joined by Conrad Ford from Allica Bank, Merusha Naidu from Paymentology, and Aurélien Bonnel from N3XT, to explore what fully automated money could mean for the future of banking.

They discuss whether AI agents could disrupt traditional banking revenues, make deposits more mobile and introduce new risks to financial stability. Plus, as banks compete to serve AI agents rather than just customers, what will it take to remain profitable, and who stands to benefit from a more automated financial system?

This week's guests:

Conrad Ford - Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Allica Bank

Merusha Naidu - Global Head of Partnerships at Paymentology

Aurélien Bonnel - CTO of N3XT

About this episode:

It's episode 1111 of Fintech Insider, and we're making a wish!

To celebrate this milestone, we're turning the tables on our usual hosts and asking a simple question: If you could change anything about financial services, what would you wish for?

Stepping in as our Fintech Fairy Godmother, Sarah Kocianski, Scaling & Growth Specialist at the FCA, is joined by three familiar voices from Fintech Insider.

From helping customers build better financial futures to making money less awkward to talk about and ensuring AI does more good than harm, they share their biggest wishes for the industry.

But there's a catch: even a fairy godmother can't fix financial services with a wave of her wand. So what would it actually take to turn these wishes into reality?

This week's guests:

Ross Gallagher - Head of Consulting at 11:FS

Kate Moody – Customer Strategy Director at 11:FS

Benjamin Ensor - Director of Research and Strategy at 11:FS

About this episode:

AI agents are moving beyond helping employees work faster. They're increasingly being connected to company knowledge, internal systems and workflows, allowing them to take action and become part of how organisations operate.

But as AI agents become more capable, how much autonomy should we give them? Who decides what they can access, who's accountable when something goes wrong, and how can financial institutions maintain control as adoption scales?

In this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, in partnership with Dust, host Benjamin Ensor, Director of Research and Strategy at 11:FS, is joined by expert guests to explore what happens when AI agents become part of the workforce.

Guests:

Gabriel Hubert - CEO & Co-Founder, Dust

Tom Harris - Chief Product and Technology Officer at Oaknorth 

Aditi Subbarao - Enterprise Sales Financial Services at Snowflake

About this episode:

Earning a good salary doesn't necessarily mean building wealth. For a growing group of high earners, often referred to as HENRYs (High Earners, Not Rich Yet), the journey from financial success to long-term wealth can be surprisingly difficult.

While traditional banking focuses on everyday financial needs and wealth management often caters to those who have already accumulated significant assets, many high earners find themselves somewhere in between.

In this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, host Ross Gallagher, Head of Consulting at 11,:FS is joined by Kate Moody, Customer Strategy Director at 11; Matt Ford, Co-Founder & CEO of Sidekick; and Tamara van den Ban, MD of Premier Banking at NatWest Group, to explore what prevents high earners from turning income into wealth, how their financial needs are evolving, and what banks and fintechs can do to better support them.
