About this episode:

Host Kate Moody, Customer Strategy Director at 11:FS, is joined by a fantastic panel of guests as we dive into some of the biggest stories from the worlds of fintech, banking, and wider financial services this week.

Stories covered on the podcast this week include:
Checkout takes a bold step into U.S. banking with its new charter license - but what does that really mean in practice? We dig into the implications.

Yapily joins us to discuss their new account verification service for business customers across Europe, and we unpack why this matters now more than ever.

We also take a closer look at Yup’s sizeable funding round - and explore why this is such an exciting moment for the Southeast Asian fintech market.

Meanwhile, Monzo is making serious moves in the U.S., and our panellists weigh in with their predictions.

Back in the UK, social enterprise The Big Issue has teamed up with fumopay to enable sellers to accept open banking payments - a big step forward in financial and digital inclusion.

And finally, we take a look at California’s new law banning loud ads on streaming services. Will it bring peace and quiet - or crank up the volume on regulatory debate?

This week's guests:

Dan Dall'Asta - General Partner at Foxe Capital
Stefano Vaccino - Founder and CEO of Yapily
Grant Evans - VP, Sales and Partnerships at Worldpay for Platforms

Featuring voice notes from:
