In this episode, we discussed:* Alex and I recorded this before “Liberation Day” and thus before Klarna chose to delay its IPO; that said, our analysis of Klarna's F-1 registration statement stands!* A return to BaaS Island: a first-hand account of Mercury and Evolve's abrupt public parting of ways; what other banks, fintechs, and regulators can learn from the chaotic split.* It's charter time: a brief discussion of SmartBiz, OakNorth, and OneMain's progress on charters; prescient, given the news this week that Stripe has applied for Georgia's merchant acquirer limit purpose bank (MALPB) charter (more on Stripe's news from me here, including a copy of the public portion of its application.)* And, as always, what Alex and I just can't let go of.

In the latest episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, we're joined by Rajesh Gupta, CFO of UK business bank OakNorth, to chat about the UK's “missing middle” – established small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) that are looking to scale, but are overlooked or underserved by incumbent banks and alternative lenders – and what banks should be doing more of to ensure they're supporting their business clients through the current economic climate. Rajesh and FinTech Futures editor Paul Hindle also discuss the current business banking landscape in the UK, the impact factors such as rising interest rates are having on businesses looking to scale and the risks for lenders, as well as how banks such as OakNorth have been approaching their lending activities of late. And finally, we find out what fintech buzzword Rajesh wants to lock away in our Fintech Jail! Thanks as always to Orama for editing this podcast.

In this episode of The Unicorn Podcast, Simon Squibb sits down with Rishi Khosla as they dive deep into the highs and lows of building a bank worth $5 BILLION, as well as what it takes to disrupt an industry that is stuck in its traditional ways.Rishi Khosla is the CEO and co-founder of OakNorth. He started his first business, Copal Partners, a financial research company, in 2002 with just $60k. Over 12 years, he and his co-founder, Joel Perlman, scaled it to a 3,000-employee organization across 13 markets, before selling it to Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO) in 2014.They then set out to build their second business, OakNorth, a financial technology company with a mission to empower the ‘Missing Middle' - businesses that are the largest contributors of economic and employment growth, yet still struggle to access fast, flexible debt finance. OakNorth is addressing this funding gap with its Credit Intelligence software which it licenses to commercial lenders such as Fifth Third, PNC, and Old National, and that it uses within its own bank in the UK, OakNorth Bank.Rishi Khosla is an early-stage investor in a number of leading technology companies, including PayPal. In 2019, he was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) from her Majesty The Queen for services to business.Rishi: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/rishikhosla1Oaknorth: https://oaknorth.co.uk/investors/our-cofounder-rishi-khosla/Get business help for free, and get rewarded for helping at HelpBnk!https://helpbnk.com

Interest rates are at their highest level for over 15 years, due largely to high inflation which recently has come down slower than anticipated. This has contributed to record low commercial property investment transaction volumes in Q4 2022 and reduced activity so far this year. Looking ahead, where are transactions continuing to take place? Which sectors remain liquid? Where has pricing strengthened, and most importantly, what are some of the key fundamentals that will continue to drive commercial real estate investment looking forwards? Commercial real estate investment is in part influenced by debt markets. Host, Oliver Deme, Senior Surveyor in the Investment Team at Fisher German, sat down with Greg Manson, Director of OakNorth Bank and specialist in real estate debt finance, to film and record an instalment of the third series of 'Fisher German LLP Talks', delving into the above, and much more. Together Ollie and Greg give us insights into the real estate market and explore the challenges and opportunities for commercial investment in the months and years to come.

They form a part of many international consortiums campaigning to do the same. I spoke to Matt about the issues with ESGs, the power of scope three emissions, and why fintech could be integral to meeting net zero goals.

Rishi Khosla, the co-founder and chief executive of OakNorth, tells the story of how OakNorth bid for Silicon Valley Bank UK during a frantic weekend in March 2023 and why the eventual deal with HSBC could be bad for innovation and start-ups.

Today's guest is Jackson Hull. At the time of recording this interview, Jackson was the COO of OakNorth, but he now serves as the CEO of Elliptic. OakNorth is a financial services unicorn company based in the United Kingdom. In this episode, we explore a topic that is very pertinent to Jackson's former role: assessing the health of your loan portfolio. Understanding your loan portfolio's health is an essential skill for executives in the finserv industry, but right now, it is a sticky business and might be a place where artificial intelligence can add value. Jackson provides a high-level strategic perspective on the business and discusses an interesting use-case.

OakNorth has rethought credit decisioning with their data-centric credit intelligence platform. Even more interestingly, their first real-life reference was their own bank. Be it the bank or the software provider, both OakNorth companies share a common focus topic: climate change. Listen in to learn what banks can do to address this global matter now!

In this episode, Kimberley speaks with Hugh Shannon. Hugh is Head of Sales and Customer Success at OakNorth.

Hugh Shannon, Director of Growth & Operations at OakNorth. OakNorth works with banks across the U.S., to lead businesses toward embracing the future of climate change. Shannon discusses both how banks are assessing climate risks in their loan portfolios, and educating entrepreneurs what are steps they need to take to demonstrate the viability to banks. 

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based software can streamline the commercial loan process and remove inconsistencies in the traditional approach many financial institutions use today. Listen as Hugh Shannon, head of sales and customer success, at OakNorth discusses how AI can improve the commercial loan process in this episode of “The Buzz.”

Today's guest is Jackson Hull, former COO of OakNorth, a unicorn company recently listed in Forbes as Europe's most valuable fintech. In a financial services-focused discussion that echoes the theme of our recent Monday series on AI success factors, Jackson highlights a use case in helping banks analyze the risk of their loan portfolio. Jackson also advises business leaders on what they should keep in mind when deploying early AI projects, particularly for those enterprises with uniquely high levels of external demand.

When Rajesh Gupta tells us that he likes change and fixing things that are broken, we can't help but wonder how a finance career that has encompassed more than 20 years with General Electric has come to satisfy that appetite. Certainly, we reason, this number of years with a single company is more likely to accent the resume of a change-averse executive than that of someone who actively pursues it. However, as we quickly learn, Gupta's GE years were spent across three continents, and 15 of them involved ever-acquisitive GE Capital. “Because GE Capital grew from a lot of different acquisitions, each of its new companies would in effect have its own culture—and rather than try to force their own culture on it, GE would instead introduce its leadership training and financial management approaches,” explains Gupta, whose career with GE began in India after he was first hired by a GE joint venture that was shortly thereafter acquired by GE Capital. “I was asked to join a leadership training program, which basically opened the door to opportunities through which I could take on different roles inside GE,” reports Gupta, whose vocational track quickly found traction inside GE's M&A and commercial business partnering activities. From restructuring acquisitions to dealing with credit card operations, Gupta tells us, his appetite for change found a wealth of avenues to pursue. “I was heading down a path that I felt would someday allow me to become a general manager of a GE business unit—but then 2008 happened,” comments Gupta, who notes that the economic downturn of the late 2000s became something of a wakeup call. “When I looked at my CV, I saw that I had had a career that was difficult to explain to people and that I needed to make a choice rather than continue to straddle the general manager and finance worlds, so I decided to go down the finance track,” recalls Gupta, who in short order was named CFO of a bank owned by GE Capital in the Czech Republic. “I took hold of the position with both hands,” remembers Gupta, who years later doesn't attempt to conceal the grave uncertainties of the time. Nonetheless, from that day forward—whether inside or outside of GE—Gupta has always had the CFO title preceding his name. Adds Gupta: “What became clear to me was that the outside world typically thinks about future roles based on the last role that you occupied.” –Jack Sweeney 

Rishi Khosla, CEO and co-founder of OakNorth, took his own entrepreneurial experiences scaling a startup as inspiration to completely disrupt small to medium commercial debt financing. Along the way, he has helped transform how banks across the globe calculate risk. As a result, OakNorth Bank has reduced loan processing time by over 80% and helped create over 30,000 jobs. Rishi stopped by the New York Stock Exchange for an engaging conversation on improving the UK's support for entrepreneurs and how OakNorth's ON Credit Intelligence Suite is being used to improve outcomes for all stakeholders.   Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house

Today we're talking about how banks are digitizing their commercial lending operations.

My guests today are Dan O'Malley, CEO of Numerated, a SaaS digital loan origination system, and Peter Grant, the President of OakNorth, which aims to transform commercial lending with its Credit Intelligence software product.
