In this bespoke series, hosted by 11:FS' co-founder Simon Taylor and Synapse CEO, Sankaet Pathak, we are lifting the lid on banking infrastructure and taking you deep into the technology that is disrupting traditional models and shaking up the system to improve the financial lives of customers around the world.
The banking ecosystem is expanding all the time, with new players coming through, not just new challenger banks, but solution providers, third party players, and technology providers that are really shaking things up.
Every week we will be deep diving into a different area of banking technology from payments to lending, cryptocurrency to banking innovation, joined by some very special guests along the way to give their perspectives. Join us, to take a journey through today’s banking infrastructure and learn how technology is disrupting not just banking but also making us question what it means to be a bank at all.
In this final journey Under the Hood this season, we are looking ahead and discussing the future of banking.
Simon and Sankaet are joined by some incredible guests:
Angela Strange - General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
Anne Boden, CEO and Founder, Starling Bank
Our awesome panel really dig deep into the challenges banks have faced previously and will do in the future; the expectations of customers that banking has to meet, now more than ever; what the role of technology will play in the future of banking and what changes are on the horizon.
Most importantly we also discuss the role of banks - will they even still be needed? Will their role completely change, and might every company become a fintech company?

8. Why can't banks innovate?
This week, Simon and Sankaet are looking at big banks holistically and asking the big question: Why can’t banks innovate?
Why IS innovation and transformation from within so long and expensive for traditional banks? Where are they going wrong, and how do fintechs and FS service providers manage to “do digital” so much better than traditional banks?
To dive deeper into this, we’re joined by some excellent guests with their fair share of experience in big banks, who've gone on to found fintechs, who can help us answer this very question.
