Fintech Daydreaming

SEBx has been the poster child of Nordic bank innovation and subject of endless intrigue from the fintech community since its inception. The founder of SEBx and current Head of SEB Embedded Christoffer Malmer joined Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu on this episode of Fintech Daydreaming to tell the whole story and share his insights to some of the burning questions everyone working with emerging technologies in banks is asking: how did SEBx get off the ground? How to navigate the control environment of an incumbent bank without losing the benefits of building on a clean slate? Sit back, relax and enjoy this 45 minutes of unfiltered insight straight from ground zero of Nordic digital banking innovation 🍿💡 - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Time is relative and we go quantity over quality in jokes when Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu get to host Anders Olofsson in this week's fix of Fintech Daydreaming.   We jump from bitcoin to central banks, to connection problems, to Wirecard and more in this fast paced episode. Doesn't sound like a plausible script for a podcast but somehow we covered it all in this rollercoaster of an episode that shouldn't bore anyone - so grab the popcorn and enjoy the ride 😄 - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Season seven is here! Our Fintech Daydreaming hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu have (mostly) survived the holiday season, and have picked-up right back where we left off in 2022 by starting with one of the most important topics we are all going to be talking about in 2023: ESG in banking and fintech. Luckily we found just the right expert to tell us all about the ups and downs of the challenge that we're facing in ESG: Adam Thompson spends his days making an impact in this space but managed to spare some time to discuss with us about what the state of affairs looks like right now and what we need to do move the needle in making the world quite literally a better place. - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Time to wrap up season six of Fintech Daydreaming and see what (if anything) we learned in 2022. In our season finale we at least learn that ChatGPT hype has finally caught up with Pål and Ville, but is there a fintech angle to it at all and what is it good for actually? What about the problems of AI that are certainly going to be front and center with ChatGPT too?   Sit back, relax, grab a beverage of your own preference and join us for this relaxed wrap-up of this season and don’t worry: we will be back in 2023 for season seven.   In the meantime: Happy Holidays from all of us at Fintech Daydreaming! 🎄🎁   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

What do bananas, Finnish sauna, personal finance management and chimpanzees have in common?   Data, obviously 🤷‍♂️    Before you ask - have a listen to this penultimate episode of season six where Amir Tabakovic from Experiens.ai joined our hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu to educate us about AI, machine learning and data usage in banking. In addition they take a run down memory lane of how Amir got involved with data driven financial services in the first place, and ended up lecturing in universities, and as an author of several papers on the topic.   You will find Moby Forum publications about emerging privacy enhancing technologies that we refer to in the episode from these two locations: - The Digital Banking Blindspot - introduction to PETs (https://mobeyforum.org/the-digital-banking-blindspot/)  - PETs explained (https://mobeyforum.org/privacy-enhancing-technologies/)   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

How does a global company navigate the perilous landscape of regional regulation and remain competitive? Fintech companies handle a tremendous amount of sensitive and private data that puts them in the centre of this exact question.   Jeff Parker leads Marqeta's international unit and has a lot to say about how to find answers to difficult data questions that go way beyond just GDPR. Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu sat down with Jeff around our virtual Fintech Daydreaming podcasting table and learned all about it.   Luckily we also remembered to record our conversation, which means you get to listen to all of it today!   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Have you ever wondered what happens when you put two recovering bankers and our resident bank platform advocate Pål Krogdahl in the same podcast episode, and start talking about how open banking came about in the Nordics?   Us at Fintech Daydreaming too, and that's exactly why we invited Sarah Häger for a chat with our hosts Ville Sointu and Pål Krogdahl, to tell us all about how to build a successful developer community in an unlikely environment like a bank.   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

It’s that time of year again. The season when who’s who of the financial services industry flock to a get together that still today is the largest migration of bankers and Fintech nerds heading to one place: the annual Sibos conference.   Our co-host Pål Krogdahl found himself in the middle of it all and we decided to share the experience with all our listeners. What’s hot (and not) this year? Why does everyone look so tired every morning?

"Here we go again" we thought when we scheduled this episode recording that it would be another one about embedded finance. At the same time we realised that this is a chance to get to the next level in the discussion: how does embedded finance really work? What is the terminology we should use and what are the implications of delivering these capabilities across national borders and over different jurisdictions?   Our guest for this episode of Fintech Daydreaming, Nick Root, Co-founder and CEO at intergiro helped us navigate through all of it with ease.

What is a brank? While we break new grounds in Fintech Daydreaming every now and then this is the first time we might have accidentally invented a new word that tells everything about how banks could re-invent their brand strategy.  Join Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu for this episode, where they talk with Liz High (unfortunately Allison was unable to join us at last minute) about how banks today could do better with the way they communicate their investments in a digital world, and how that translates to value for their customers.  Check https://thinklikeabrandbook.com to learn all about it - or just listen to this episode to get the highlights - even better, do both!   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/
