Fintech Daydreaming

It’s that time of year again. The season when who’s who of the financial services industry flock to a get together that still today is the largest migration of bankers and Fintech nerds heading to one place: the annual Sibos conference.   Our co-host Pål Krogdahl found himself in the middle of it all and we decided to share the experience with all our listeners. What’s hot (and not) this year? Why does everyone look so tired every morning?

"Here we go again" we thought when we scheduled this episode recording that it would be another one about embedded finance. At the same time we realised that this is a chance to get to the next level in the discussion: how does embedded finance really work? What is the terminology we should use and what are the implications of delivering these capabilities across national borders and over different jurisdictions?   Our guest for this episode of Fintech Daydreaming, Nick Root, Co-founder and CEO at intergiro helped us navigate through all of it with ease.

What is a brank? While we break new grounds in Fintech Daydreaming every now and then this is the first time we might have accidentally invented a new word that tells everything about how banks could re-invent their brand strategy.  Join Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu for this episode, where they talk with Liz High (unfortunately Allison was unable to join us at last minute) about how banks today could do better with the way they communicate their investments in a digital world, and how that translates to value for their customers.  Check https://thinklikeabrandbook.com to learn all about it - or just listen to this episode to get the highlights - even better, do both!   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Season six continues with another mega-trend and another mega-guest: current Head of IBM Cloud Platform and former Bank of America CTO Howard Boville, re-joins Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu to talk about what’s what in regards to banks moving to the cloud - and more.   A lot has happened since Howard was with Fintech Daydreaming the last time (S02:E05).

The short but sweet Nordic summer is over and it's time to kick off season six of Fintech Daydreaming! We've been trying to get the blockchain leader and fellow podcast host Anthony Day (host of the podcast "Blockchain won't save the world") to be a guest on our podcast for quite a while now so we couldn't have been happier to get him to join our hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu to kick off this season.   Will we finally get a proper definition of web3? Is there a real use case for web3 and does it connect to the metaverse somehow? Did Ville manage to use an NFT to get to a secret party during his summer vacation? This and more answered - all you need to do is hit that play button 👉   - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream  - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming  - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/  - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Summer is officially here, and that means it’s time to end another roller coaster of a season of the Fintech Daydreaming podcast. Before we do that though, our hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu sat down to summarise some of the main highlights, key themes and best takeaways of season five. As a bonus Ville drops a career newsbomb seemingly out of nowhere 💣 Special thanks to all our fans for listening and watching us during season five. Fintech Daydreaming will return for season six in August with a fresh lineup of guests and topics. But for now, we wish you all a great summer, and a big thank you to our guests for season five... - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Summer is almost here but the team at Fintech Daydreaming are showing no signs of slowing down as we finally got one of our most anticipated guests to join us for a chat. Our hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu sat down with Paul Yoo from Meta who has a phenomenally interesting career that has taken him around the world working for some of the best known brands in fintech. We got to talk about everything from crypto to the metaverse and ended up learning about how once upon a time bitcoin “almost” took over the economy in Thailand. Tune in. You won’t regret listening to this one. - Email us on Hello@FintechDaydreaming.com  - Fintech Daydreaming home page - https://www.FintechDaydreaming.com - Fintech Daydreaming on Twitter - https://twitter.com/FintechDaydream - Fintech Daydreaming on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fintech-daydreaming - Pål Krogdahl - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krogdahl/ - Ville Sointu - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ville-sointu-54682b/

Getting the fintech legend and author Chris Skinner to join us for a chat in our Fintech Daydreaming studio was a fantastic milestone for us. Our hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu got to talk about everything from his new book “Digital for Good” to the metaverse, but little did we expect that we’d learn what Chris thinks about one of our hosts (all said in jest), superhero fintech jokes and the legend of Captain Cake 🍰 Sounds confusing?

Another day another episode about banking as a service? And, why not! Ion Fratiloiu from Yobota joined us to give us a new perspective to the topic: from a platform to a full stack banking as a service provider by becoming part of a fully licensed bank.   We also continued to develop our long term plan to launch the Fintech Daydreaming bank in exotic countries where we have listeners.
