The path to profitability for many fintechs has not been an easy one. Much like disruptive technology and media companies, for the vast majority of challenger banks, their number one objective has been growth and building a loyal customer base, rather than prioritizing making a profit. However, as the UK plunges into the deepest recession on record, challenger banks are under renewed pressure from both inside and outside of the industry to start making a profit. In today’s show, David Brear is joined by some great guests to explore the topic: Adam Davis - Head of Delivery, 11:FS Lianna Brinded - Head of Yahoo Finance UK Alexandra Frean - Head of Corporate Affairs, Starling Tune in for an exploration for why profit has evaded some banks, why it’s such a hot topic in the media and if the goal of profit is even necessary at this stage.
