Listen Later

Phygital is the new digital.

On Episode 2 of Couchonomics with Arjun Season 4, we sit down with Coenraad Jonker — Founder & Group CEO of Tyme — a digital banking pioneer who’s built real scale across emerging markets.
Tyme raised $250M in Series C. Reached a $1.5B valuation. Signed up 17M+ customers across South Africa and the Philippines. All while keeping CAC at one of the lowest levels globally.
This isn’t hype. This is hard-earned traction.  We break down regulation, scale, AI-native banks & why incumbents can't keep up.

If you want to understand the next decade of retail banking — this is the conversation.
