Michael Kent is the founder and CEO of Azimo, a fast-growing money transmission business. Michael first joined us a over a year ago, in episode 34, and it was fun to connect again.

Hello and welcome to Rebank. I'm your host, Will Beeson. Or should I say, I'm your guest, Will Beeson. Today's episode is different. The mic got turned on me this time to discuss CivilisedBank, the SME opportunity and the future of fintech more broadly. The host is Carlos Espinal, Partner at Seedcamp, one of the most active seed funds in Europe. This conversation originally aired earlier this week on Carlos's podcast, This Much I Know, which everyone should totally check out. Hope you enjoy the role reversal. Be back next week with another regular episode.
