"We’re not in an age of fintech disruption, we’re in an age of fintech irritation” This week we'll be discussing the world of fintech with global expert and commentator, Liz Lumley.Aside from Brexit, Liz Lumley is predicting big things for the world of fintech in 2020. Liz is a podcast veteran, having regularly contributed on Brett King's Breaking Banks and 11.FS. Combined with Liz's 20 years industry experience - this one is not to be missed.Liz foresees a continued maturity of the fintech sector where disruption is no longer the order of the day. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, firms will look to irritate the bigger players by continuing to build on efficiency.

This mini-podcast was recorded in front of a live audience during the Barclays New Frontiers conference, so there is a lot of background noise, and the sound quality is not always great. Oh, and some of the language Liz uses is quite fruity. In this special mini-podcast, Magdalena chats with Liz Lumley, Director of FinTech at VC Innovations, and a key FinTech influencer. In an entertaining, frank and all too brief conversation, Liz discusses how she got involved in FinTech, is the accelerator model dead, and her advice for budding entrepreneurs. If you’ve enjoyed this podcast, subscribe to our Rise FinTech Podcast via your favourite podcast app, and be the first to know about new episodes.      

Liz Lumley, Steering Committee Member at FinTechTECHTalents18, Founder of The Collective Network and Advisory Board Member of DNXCommunity, discusses how fintechs can find more diverse talent, the barriers facing female founders, the crucial part men must play in driving gender equality, the FinTech Parity Pledge and why raising the visibility of women and ethnic minorities is one of the most important drivers of D&I.

First up this week, the guys tackle the news that Revolut is into crypto! Can they break down the divide between old and new money? And is it dangerous that retail investors have such simple access to cryptocurrencies? And, hot on the heels of Revolut, Square has been running a trial on Cash App, a rival to Venmo, that has allowed a small number of users to purchase bitcoin. Next up, the report on the overhaul of the core banking system. And, as we at 11:FS know only too well, what a task that is! So why is it that banks need help to do it and how can they mitigate the risks involved? The FCA has announced a successful third round of its regulatory sandbox, with 61 applications and 18 accepted into the next stage, including Curl, Bud, Nationwide and Orca. And in a surprising twist (?), the European Commission has announced that it has extended the deadline for banks to meet new payment standards. So what are the most controversial changes and when's the new deadline? We also bring you a special interview with New10 CEO Mark Schroder, who talks about their partnership with ABN AMRO and what it’s like to be a fintech grown within an incumbent bank. Plus, N26 has launched a premium credit card and Liz Lumley is not impressed ("this is not news"); why America might have missed the fintech boat in India; and we couldn't let the news pass without talking about CryptoKitties. Thanks to all our guests, and thank you for listening. Spread the word, tell your friends and don't forget to leave us a review on iTunes.

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” - Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, 1789. This famous idiom summarizes the only to certainties in life; however, based on the never ceasing news lately, I recommend we edit this to state “… except death and taxes and any number of men in power positions harassing / coming on to women.” I originally described this concept of this podcast as a “Charlie Rose roundtable interview format”; a description I need to change immediately thanks to the recent news of his idiotic discretions. And I sincerely believe the Harvey Weinstein accusations were the catalyst the opened the floodgates. Story after story has been breaking of men in power using their position to intimidate, harass, and treat women (and in some cases men - looking at you Kevin Spacey) in a derogatory and threatening manner. The NYTimes (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/10/us/men-accused-sexual-misconduct-weinstein.html) list is a continuous running inventory of famous men forced to come to terms with their past actions. A few years back I helped author a study (https://innotribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The-PowerWomen-in-FinTech-Index-Bridging-the-Gender-Gap.pdf) for Swift on the issue of gender parity in tech/banking. The statistics of the lack of women in leadership positions at the time were jarring for me. My friend Liz Lumley summed this up well when she stated “There are more CEO’s with the name ‘John’ than women CEO’s in the banking / tech industry.” In this episode I interviewed three friends and company CEO/founders on the topic of sexual harassment and the “bro-culture” in tech. They include Jane Barrett (Founder & CEO of Goldbean), Laura Spiekerman (co-founder of Alloy) and Gesche Haas (founder of Dreamers & Doers). Each of these incredible company founders and tech leaders have had to deal with multiple encounters of sexual harassment and just plain stupid behavior. This topic couldn’t be more timely and each of these company founders I consider to be mentors to me. Both Gesche and Laura have spoken out previously on this topic and their experiences; Gesche with Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2014-11-20/gesche-haas-reflects-on-harassment-in-tech-industry) and Laura with Megyn Kelly (https://www.today.com/video/women-speak-to-megyn-kelly-about-sexual-harassment-in-silicon-valley-997514307983). Jane is a superstar and is a routinely sought after expert on finance and investing (http://mobile.reuters.com/video/2016/08/09/goldbean-ceo-jane-barratt-on-what-invest?videoId=369527204).

In our first all female episode, Sarah Kocianski takes the lead alongside Fiserv's Anna Bennett, Bud's Nina Mohanty, Girl Disrupted Liz Lumley and Innovate Finance's Sophie Winwood, to go through the top stories from the world of fintech and financial services in the last seven days. Kicking off with the US' first new payment system in 40 years that seemed slightly underwhelming, especially when compared with Alibaba's spending record on China's Singles Day. They also take on the new AI chatbot from Standard Chartered and whether or not the Apple FaceID hack was or wasn't a hoax, and are bankers right to feel sorry for millennials - and what are they going to do about it if they are? They also discuss Zimbabwe's lack of currency and huge bitcoin surges following the deposition of Robert Mugabe, a new bank card for spending bitcoin and ethereum; how banks such as Monzo stand to make money in the wake of open banking - and finally is it right that David Davis has promised bankers special travel rights in the wake of Brexit?

So what's coming up on the show? David Cameron's back in business! US payments business, that is. The guys discuss his credentials for the job and why he might be acting like a Kardashian. Have we seen the end of the banking heyday? And why might ex-Barclays boss Antony Jenkins be saying so? We also hear about Russian bitcoin bros and Putin's views on cryptocurrencies, suggesting that Russia's central bank may be next in line to introduce regulation. We also caught up with Adam Dodds from Freetrade.io, the challenger stock broker, who shared their exciting news about achieving full FCA authorisation, and told us about their journey on the road to disrupting the stock trading industry. The team discuss Venezuela's reliance on cash and how it's stoking inflation. And how on earth will China give citizens a score based on their trustworthiness? Should they? Will they? Also on today's show: Monzo fending off one takeover offer per month; Starling's latest app feature; Zopa building a new bank; Zazu crowdfunding a digital bank; and why it's finally been shown that Siri is a simpleton!

In another packed episode we have a full house of hosts as David, Jason and Simon are joined by global fintech commentator and Girl, Disrupted, Liz Lumley; Editor-in-Chief of Fintech Finance, Ali Paterson; and Capco's Principal Consultant, Charlie Wood. The team discuss WhatsApp adding payment features; First Direct coming consistently top of a customer service poll, and the bigger banks always come last - we discuss if there's a correlation between the size of the bank and their market share and the poor quality of customer service? (are you bad when you're big?); and most topically, what responsibility does PayPal have over KKK donations via their service? And how do you find a middle ground between censoring free speech and social responsibility? They also take on start up shopping; retraining and up-skilling versus job cutting; pocket money startups; and turning trash into tokens in Amsterdam. We also have an interview with James Lloyd, Asia-Pacific Fintech Leader at EY, all about the Chinese fintech and Alipay stories that have been making headlines this week.

In this episode Aden and Simon are joined by regulars Kadhim and Liz for the news. This week we find out if it's really necessary to use VR in banking; and, as ATMs are dying and costing banks to run, we discuss the pros and cons of hard cash versus digital transactions – and the various reasons why people are still keen on cash. We also myth-bust the theory that consumers are less trusting of robots or AI for banking and money movements than they would be for major surgery; and if it's true Google can track what you're buying online and offline via your credit card purchases – and how do we feel about this? Finally, the team debate the importance of big banks and banking regulators beginning to pay attention to fintech, and why Chicago should be a fintech hub, but isn't.

Two Queens of Fintech, Duena Blomstrom and Liz Lumley, join us today for an insightful conversation about bank-fintech collaboration, plus an exclusive announcement from Duena. Duena headed sales for Meniga, a successful Icelandic fintech startup, from 2010-2015. Duena has been investing in and advising fintech startups since then, especially on commercial and go-to-market strategies. Liz ran StartupBootcamp Fintech's 2015 London program and then led ecosystem development for the accelerator. She is currently Managing Director for Thought Leadership at Rainmaking, one of the parent companies of StartupBootcamp. If you like today's show, reach out. Tweet at us @rebankpodcast or at me, your host, @will_beeson. Connect with us via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or our website www.bankingthefuture.com. To find out more about Duena's exciting new endeavor, visit www.finwinners.com.

In this episode Liz Lumley, Managing Director of Thought Leadership at Rainmaking, says a woman approached her at one of their events recently and said, “I’m here because I get told all the time: You need to work with startups, and then no one tells me how.” The Rainmaking Summit was designed to give people like her the tools they need to make innovation happen. Straight talk. No bullshit. We sit down with key participants in London to get the lowdown. “We need to move from ROI to R&D,” says Nektarios Liolios, CEO & Co-Founder, Startupbootcamp FinTech. “R&D implies failure. It implies experimentation, and just keep trying, keep trying until it works, right? Having been in the financial industry for nearly 20 years now, we don’t have that. There is no concept of building product, or doing anything, with an R&D mentality. Whereas any other industry has that.” Guests Liz Lumley, Managing Director of Thought Leadership, Rainmaking @LizLum Will Bentinck, Head of Careers, Makers Academy @isoworg Nektarios Liolios, CEO & Co-Founder, Startupbootcamp FinTech @nekliolios Jennifer Rosen, Founder & CEO of JnR Communications To learn more about the team behind FinTech Insider, visit us at 11fs.co.uk The post Ep210 – Rainmaking Summit: Show Me How to Innovate appeared first on 11FS.
