On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, host Benjamin Ensor takes us back in the archives to revisit our two part series on 'How to buy a bank'.
Mergers and acquisitions in fintech are all over the news at the moment, from Nationwide Building Society being approved for a £2.9bn UK takeover of Virgin Money, to the possible $35bn Capital One Discover merger in the US.
So, we'll be taking a deep dive into what really happens when one financial giant swallows another. Why do they do it? And, what technical and organisational shifts need to happen to make it work?
This week's guests:
- David M.Brear, CEO at 11:FS
- Kate Moody, Customer Strategy Director at 11:FS
- Polo Rocha, reporter at American Banker
- Virginia Varela, community bank CEO and former federal regulator
- Rupy Malizia, Chief Strategic Transformation Officer at HSBC Innovation Banking
