Joakim Sjöblom, CEO & Founder @ Minna Technologies, Episode 9 of FinTexcellent™
<p><strong>In Episode 9 of FinTexcellent™, Joakim Sjöblom, CEO & Founder @Minna Technologies discusses societies shift towards the "Subscription Economy". (22/10/20)</strong></p> <p>In this podcast Joakim joins us from Minna Technologies HQ in Gothenburg, Sweden, to share his passion for the future of digital banking and how Minna are helping to enable Retail Banks to deliver the next generation of digital banking experiences, and increase the pace of digital transformation. </p> <p>Minna's technology suite currently reaches more than 20 million end users (as at October 2020) through partnerships with major Tier 1 banks. Minna's mission is to bring power to the modern consumer by enabling effortless banking in a subscription economy. Where the subscription life cycle can be managed and controlled through 1 single convenient channel on your mobile.</p> <p><strong>Why did he start Minna?</strong></p> <p>Joakim has been running Tech ventures for the past 9 years and has been in Fintech for 6 years. Minna is the 3rd company that he has started, with the common thread being that he experienced personal consumer experience problems that he then has a habit of jumping to solutions. </p> <p>In the case of Minna, in 2013, he realised that he was starting to subscribe to a lot of different things e.g. Netflix and Spotify, or even diapers and razor blades - with subscriptions being the new normal. </p> <p><strong>Whats different and unique about Minna?</strong></p> <p>A key difference at Minna is the amount of time, effort and investment they make in to finding the best talent to join the journey. Minna's product mission is to take Insights in to Actions. e.g. it's quite easy to track and see what subscriptions you are paying for today through PSD2 Open Banking. But Minna's proposition adds layers on top of this such as cancelling your gym membership or your broadband contract for example, or even help to switch your telco/energy provider for you. So its a seamless 1-click experience for you to save time and money. </p> <p><strong>To find out more about what Joakim and Minna do, visit:</strong></p> <p>https://minnatechnologies.com/</p>

Rupert Barksfield, COO & Co-Founder of Pynk, Episode 8 of FinTexcellent™
<p><strong>In Episode 8 of FinTexcellent™, Rupert Barksfield, COO & Co-Founder of Pynk</strong> discusses from his "Man Shed" at the bottom of his garden during lockdown (11/09/20) how Pynk uses the power of AI and 'Crowd Wisdom' to beat the market on their social investment platform. Believed to be the worlds first Crowd Wisdom 0% fee managed portfolio.</p> <p>A frank, humble and honest interview with Rupert, who always felt, even from a very young age at school when making deals with his school chums, that he was always destined to become an entrepreneur. Where he went on to take his first advertising agency client that nobody wanted at the time: Android from 0% to 62% market share. </p> <p>Whilst looking for something else, In early 2018, Rupert joined the Founder Institute where he went on to meet his Co-Founder at Pynk (Seth Ward). Seth had the core idea of Pynk, which is essentially taking the traditional Hedge Fund , and giving the power and control of that Hedge Fund back to the people. </p> <p>Pynk's principle idea is to combine all of the portfolio management ideas together of the crowd, and build a system to decide who to work with and who not to, so that everybody gets a portfolio that works "the best". </p> <p>Rupert shares his view where he believes we are now nearing the end of the Fintech Revolution and starting what he refers to as Fintech 2.0 </p> <p>Where Fintech 1.0 is replicating an old existing system online, taking those archaic systems and bringing them up to date. e.g. a high street bank to a Revolut (which is a bit large a digital version of a traditional bricks and mortar bank). </p> <p>Now with Fintech 2.0, we have to change things up, we have to make it better and different disruptive products for people. Such as more niche banks that support you as an individual. For example going back to a community bank feel albeit with a more digital layout, for example a skills based bank community. Where specific products can be built through specialist understanding. </p> <p>Ruperts biggest piece of advice: "don't be satisfied". For example for too long we have been satisfied with whatever the high street banks have given us. Whereas there are tonnes of other options now so you don't need to just accept what you are given.</p> <p><strong>Visit: https://www.pynk.io/</strong></p> <p><strong>Pynk is a Social Investment platform </strong>and is believed to be the Worlds first Crowd Wisdom 0% fee managed portfolio. Allowing contributors to grow their wealth, financial understanding and confidence. By using Crowd Wisdom and AI to beat the market and shape a fairer future for all.</p> <p><strong>See Pynks Award Winning FinTech PitchOff video: </strong></p> <p>https://www.funderbeam.com/syndicate/pynk/</p>

Georg Ramstad, Head of Open Banking sales at Nets, Episode 7 of FinTexcellent™
<p><strong>In Episode 7 of FinTexcellent™, Georg Ramstad, Head of Open Banking sales at Nets</strong> in Norway, discusses the opportunities to companies in Open Banking (recorded 4th Sep 2020, during the pandemic, from Georges cellar in Norway :) </p> <p>In 2016, Georg quickly realised the huge potential of Open Banking in the industry. Today he is responsible for international sales and business development for Nets Open Banking initiative. Georg sees open banking as a marathon, not a sprint, and could take the better part of 10 years before we really start to see the BIG influence of open banking. </p> <p>Georg would say the biggest lesson in his career so far, would be to find something that you really enjoy and stick with it, and of course that it helps if its something with a global movement like open banking can help innovate services in the finance industry. Where the Nordics are one of the most progressive geographies in payments. Where collaboration across banks, and a compact population as helped to advance in this segment. </p> <p><strong>Future trends:</strong></p> <p>For future trends, without realising, payments form part of almost everything we do, every day, so what can we do to make that experience as frictionless as possible. And that is something that will continue to drive us forwards. Combined with finding ways to use information of payment habits / payment history fore more than just advertising with say Google and Facebook. How can we make better decisions? How can we create better experiences? </p> <p>e.g., if saving with an account to buy a bicycle in the future, what if the bank actually knew that and could help nearer the time to help you to get the best deal at the time, e.g. best price, where to get it, checking out personal ads. (Proactive banking help, instead of reactive banking e.g. if you look like you are going to become overdrawn.</p> <p><strong>Georg's advice:</strong></p> <p>We are living in a "beta age", don't wait for perfection, go out there and test it. O start doing stuff otherwise somebody else will before you given the pace of new innovations.</p> <p><strong>More Info on Nets:</strong></p> <p>At Nets, they deliver great payments, a great network and great ideas, carried out by great people. As a Nordic FinTech company specialised in powering digital payments, Nets connect banks, businesses, the public sector and consumers via an international network facilitating digital payments.</p> <p>To find out more visit here: <strong>http://www.nets.eu</strong></p> <p>Twitter: @netsgroup</p> <p><strong>Contact Georg:</strong></p> <p>You can find Georg and more of his content here:</p> <p><strong>Linkedin</strong>: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgolavramstad/</p> <p><strong>Gerog's videos</strong>: https://vimeo.com/fintalk</p> <p><br></p>
