Before a trading app reaches a user, there is an entire system underneath it doing the real heavy lifting.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Arjun is joined by Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca, for a sharp and wide-ranging conversation on brokerage infrastructure, on-chain finance, market access, and what it really takes to build financial products at global scale.It is a grounded look at how trading has shifted from web to mobile to on-chain, why financial access still needs to be designed around culture and local behaviour, and what happens when traditional markets and digital assets begin moving closer together.From tokenised stocks and stablecoins to prediction markets and infrastructure complexity, this conversation explores the less visible layer of finance, the one powering the apps, products, and experiences users see on the surface.They also discuss why infrastructure should behave like a utility, what responsibilities licensed platforms carry around investor protection and market integrity, and why the long-term shift toward on-chain finance may be less about ideology and more about real product-market fit.

Tune in to hear: Where do people consistently misperceive their own behaviors and their own financial tendencies? Also, what are the forces that drive those blindspots? Why do so many financial planning tools optimize for all the wrong things and how can we make client services better center the client and their goals? What are Marla's hopes for the world of tech when it comes to minimizing the “knowing-doing gap?” Do people need more financial literacy or self-literacy/self-awareness? In the medium term, how does Marla see the role of the financial advisor changing with respect to AI? What's the place of behavioral coaching in this new world? How does Marla think about the “creep factor” in her own business and how can we see clients for who they are without overreaching? What lessons, as an entrepreneur and business owner, has Marla learned from introspection about how to uplift herself after a hard day?

Banking innovation usually gets reduced to apps and features.But the real changes are happening underneath.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Richard Davies, CEO of Allica Bank, joins the couch to talk about how challenger banks are actually rebuilding SME banking in the UK.Richard breaks down why established SMEs need a very different banking model, why go-to-market is harder than building the technology, and how value, trust, and low cost structures become the real advantage over time.The conversation moves through how digital banking has matured in the UK, what open banking really delivers today, how AI is being used inside regulated banks, and where stablecoins and tokenised money actually make sense and where they do not.An honest discussion on SME credit gaps, the limits of the super-app idea, the role of humans in an AI-led bank, and what the next decade of challenger banking could realistically look like.

Our expert hosts, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by some great guests to talk about the current state of open banking, how it is transforming financial services and, as more countries push for formal open banking regimes, what does the future hold? This week's guests include: Kiaan Pillay, CEO & Co-Founder at Stitch Andrew Escobar, former Director of Open Finance at MX in Canada About this episode Open banking allows financial institutions to share data and have a more globalised, connected banking system. It enables customers to share personal financial information securely, which can broaden the products and services available to them. For example, personal finance apps help individuals to manage their finances, track spending habits, save and access other financial services, all from one place. Lenders can better evaluate the borrowing power of applicants if they can access their credit history from other FS providers too. And have you ever sent a payment to someone without needing to manually input your bank details? All of this is possible with open banking. So in today's podcast we are going to take a look at the countries with an established open banking framework, those in the process of creating the regulation for it, and those who are slipping behind, and really understand the current state of open banking around the world today.

Our expert host Ross Gallagher is joined by some great guests to dive into the subject of holistic financial wellbeing. What does that even mean, I hear you ask? Well, we're going to answer that, while looking at the value add for customers within the ecosystem of one brand, how the brands can cultivate that customer stickiness and retention to keep them within the brand's umbrella, while offering them new products and services to improve their financial health and management. We also look at the balance between guidance and advice and how to bake this into propositions and how brands can tread the line between the two, while still offering value to customers.
