In season two of Fintech Insider Focus, in collaboration with Visa, our expert hosts, 11:FS' Benjamin Ensor alongside Visa's Hasan Kazmi, shine a light on fintech in different parts of the world. In the first part of this season we hone in on the Middle East’s booming financial sector, and speak to the people right at the heart of it.
In this episode they take a closer look at Bahrain, a country which has championed open banking in the Middle East. They explore the fintech landscape in Bahrain and the impact open banking has had on it to date, the potential challenges they’ve had along the way, and what this tells us about how regulation and innovation can co-exist super effectively, and can foster a thriving financial ecosystem.

847. News: Revolut take on Nubank in Mexico as fintech heats up in LATAM

Our expert hosts Rachel Pandyan is joined by some great guests to talk about how ESG is being championed by financial services to create meaningful change, not just for our industry, but for the whole world.
ESG is a term most of us have heard, and it became a buzz word, a catch-all term to represent climate-conscious action and social responsibility. However, it's not just a cultural zeitgeist. Issues around climate change, gender parity, and corporate culture have also become key political battlegrounds around the world. These issues matter, and they resonate with huge numbers of people.
But what have we actually done to move the dial in making our industry, and our world, a more sustainable and equitable place?
As banks and other financial services providers invest more and more into ESG programmes, we want to take a look at what our industry has done, and what it continues to do, as ESG becomes evermore important to customers.
From new banks targeting environmentally-conscious Gen Z-ers, to how more established banks might implement the changes needed to build ESG into their culture, we are going to discuss how financial service providers are driving meaningful change, and the challenges they still face in doing so.

This week's guests include:

Lisa Stanley, co-founder at Good With Money and chief sustainability officer at Zero

Gail Gallie, Co-Founder at Project Everyone


Highlights from this episode:

How far has ESG come in financial services? (04:08)

"An ongoing inability at leadership level" (06:20)

The long term impact of staying as we are (10:17)

ESG is so much bigger than climate (13:00)

ESG in investment landscape (17:13)

Consumer-driven change (20:05)

The impact of not caring about ESG (24:05)

The tangible benefit to customers (28:00)

The UN sustainable development goals (31:38)

"The strength is in the collective" (36:22)
