You have to hand over your data, which is subsequently regurgitated into a number...where that number comes from is seemingly unclear.

What companies are becoming first movers in this space, to create a more transparent business models that actually help people in their daily lives. We also heard from the general public on their experiences with the credit system and why they find it unfair.

Did you know that you have a digital twin? Someone is the data version of yourself that lives and breathes the internet. The problem, in this digital world, is that Digital You leaves a digital footprint everywhere you go. Everywhere... Every app and tab you open, every T-shirt you buy online, every social media account you create, all leave a trail of data behind you. Now you might not think this is important, but have you ever wondered how it's being used. Why are companies like Facebook and Google gathering data about Digital You? Why is it so profitable for them? And if there's so much value at stake....why are we not offered anything in return for it? This is where GDPR steps in. It's power to the people: digital-style. Your inbox may have been flooded by a mixture of panicky, scary and funny emails asking you to read through some updated T's & C's for seemingly everything you've ever signed up to. They may reference something called GDPR, but what is this? How does it help us, the consumer, squeeze more value out of the apps and digital services we use? Ryan and Petrit take us on a data-filled journey, with a series of stories, as well insights from industry experts weaved in to make sure you don't get bored of their voices.

David chats to Alison Rose, CEO, Commercial and Private Banking RBS at their offices in London. She tells us all about her background, how she got into financial servi es, why she stayed in banking for 25 years and how the industry is always changing and challenging her. She talks about the positives of disruption and how much there is to learn; why humility is important; and how best to help customers through the changes facing them. They also spoke about being a woman in the industry, how she is a role model and a pioneering woman in banking at the peak of her career - how does she do it? Why is it important to have female role models in this industry, how important it is to her to be seen as a good female role model; how she achieves a good work/life balance as a working mum, and why it's so important but also so hard to address the gender imbalance in the industry and how, in her view, it needs to be addressed at all levels, not just the top.
