Panel reaction: defensive play or customer benefit?

About this episode:

Our expert host Ross Gallagher, and co-host Jamie Campbell, Co-CEO of 11:FS Holdings, present Fintech Insider News live from Village Underground in London, joined by some fantastic guests to discuss some of the interesting fintech and financial services stories of the week. (Spoiler: We've selected some Irish-themed content specifically for St. Patrick's Day!)

Stories covered on the podcast this week include:

Robinhood’s ‘Family Hub’ allows users to view and manage accounts across different family members in one place. We also focus on Ireland’s three biggest banks launching a new payment service that lets customers send and request money using just a phone number. With insights from our live audience, we discuss Monzo’s ‘Year in Monzo’ feature and how happy users are with it. As it was St Patrick’s Day, we quiz the panel and our audience on their knowledge of Irish fintech with a classic game of higher or lower.

This week’s guest:

• Helen Bierton - Chief Digital Officer, Consumer Relationships at Lloyds Banking Group 

• Clém Salaün, CTO and Co-Founder of Formance 

• Merusha Naidu - Global Head of Partnerships at Paymentology
