This week on Echoes of Indiana Avenue, learn about the history of Merging Traffic, an influential jazz fusion band that thrived in Indianapolis during the 1970s. Listen to interviews with Merging Traffic members Kenny Simms, George Benn, and Ricky Knox. Also, hear rare unreleased recordings from the group. Indianapolis music critics raved about Merging Traffic's sound, and audiences packed local venues to hear the band. By all appearances, Merging Traffic were destined for national success, but the band split apart during the early 1980s. Merging Traffic will be reuniting for one night only at the Jazz Kitchen on April 10th.
Ricky Knox gives a behind the scenes look into what it took to launch a challenger bank during a time where people laughed at the idea of trying to disrupt the banking sector and the giant banks that dominated it. He gets honest on the difficulties of raising money and the challenges faced in getting past the gatekeepers in acquiring a banking license. As a serial entrepreneur and investor, Knox takes from his wealth of experience and knowledge to give a brutally honest perspective on what founders should and shouldn't be doing, from knowing when to sell to accepting defeat and letting go of a failing business. Life after Tandem bank, Knox talks investment and the two industries he has his eye on outside of fintech that are sure to bring about what he calls, the internet 2.0. Ricky Knox is a serial entrepreneur and investor. Ricky is Chairman of ForMore, an ethical wealth management platform. Ricky is the Founder of Tandem Bank (and CEO from inception to July 2021), an app-based bank that aims to revolutionise banking to save people and planet. App-operated bank Tandem was conceived after Ricky and his co-founder Matt Cooper saw the opportunity for a purpose driven bank. Tandem is currently focused on helping the UK reach Net Zero 2050 by leveraging customers savings to help customers to finance environmental improvements to their home, transport and lives. Ricky has helped to create a series of technology disruptors in Fintech and telecoms before founding Tandem Bank. He co-founded GSM Systems (a global mobile telephony network services provider) in 2003 to recycle mobile networks into the developing world and is a founder of Small World Financial Services Group, a global money transfer business with over £5bn of transfers and one of the world's largest international money transfer operators. In 2012, he co-founded Azimo, a social digital payments platform that enables simple, fast and secure remittances to 198 countries around the world and remained as Non-Executive Director until 2018. Ricky has been investing in Fintech businesses since 2003, and has backed other notable Fintech businesses such as Curve, Comply Advantage, Vitesse, Liberis and Modulr. He holds an MBA from INSEAD and a first class honors in Economics from Bristol University.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller. Ricky Knox is my guest today on the show . A five time entrepreneur and the founder of international money transfer firm Azimo, Ricky continues to compete in fintech. His latest venture, Tandem, is a strong competitor in the UK challenger banking market.

Tandem’s approach to helping its customers make financial decisions uses AI and we talk about technology’s role in managing money. We discuss how he’s handling growth and scaling and how he’s positioning Tandem — with products and services -- to compete in the future. Ricky Knox is my guest today on the Tearsheet Podcast.

Our hosts Simon and Leda are joined by Dave Cunningham, CEO of Priviti and Ryan Weeks, Editor at Altfi. First up, Swiss banks raided by antitrust watchdog over mobile payment allegations. A group of Swiss banks are under investigation by the country's antitrust authorities over whether they boycotted mobile payment services from Apple and Samsung in order to improve the prospects of their own competitive offering called Twint. Offices at UBS, Credit Suisse, PostFinance, Swisscard AECS, and Aduno Holding, have been raided by Comco over allegations that they deliberately refused to release their debit cards for use by Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Twint a mobile-payment app developed by Postfinance and used by the bank named in the complaint expressed "astonishment" at the watchdog's actions. Tandem Bank strikes HK deal to launch digital banking in Asia. Tandem Bank is set to strike a deal with Hong Kong’s Convoy Global Holdings, as part of a plan to secure funding and launch one of the first digital banks in Hong Kong Convoy is planning to take a £15m stake in Tandem, one of the first app-based banks in the UK, to become the digital lender’s second-largest shareholder, according to people close to the companies. We can’t talk about Tandem and not do their stories in a pair. Tandem has also teamed up with Stripe to launch its new Auto Savings service. It lets customers set up rules to automatically move money from their current accounts with other providers to a savings account with Tandem. The feature’s available through Tandem’s banking app, aggregating financial data from across all of a user’s accounts to offer them personalized feedback on how they’re managing their money. We spoke to Tandem CEO, Ricky Knox to tell us more about both of these stories. People who use mobile fintech apps tend to make worse financial decisions. A study of mobile-payment using millennials (ages 18-34) in the US found they were less likely to be financially literate than others of the same age who didn’t pay for things with their phones. They were also more likely to make other bad financial decisions, according to research by the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at the George Washington School of Business. 1/4 of people who use their phones to track spending reported overdrawing their accounts, compared with 20% of those who didn’t use their phones for this. Nationwide takes stake in Moneyhub. Nationwide Building Society is dipping into its £50M venture fund to take a minority stake in UK-based personal financial management app Moneyhub. Moneyhub is the third startup to benefit from the Nationwide fintech fund after acasa and Hazy. Moneyhub recently secured Payment Initiation Services Provider (PISP) authorisation by the FCA, the firm already operates as an Account Information Services Provider (AISP). The company also offers users a series of smart nudges that proactively alert consumers to overspending or better interest rate offers. We spoke to Emma Huntington, Leader in Financial Services Strategy and Innovation at Nationwide to give us their perspective on this partnership. We also spoke to Sam Seaton, CEO of Moneyhub to get her thoughts on this investment as well. Which? ranks highest and lowest banks of 2018.

AlipayHK wins bid to provide QR code payment solution for Hong Kong’s MTR. AlipayHK says it has won a bid to provide a QR code mobile payment solution for Hong Kong’s MTR railway system. Commuters will have the option of entering MTR stations by linking their AlipayHK account to a separate MTR app, and scanning a QR code on their smartphones on the readers installed at the entry gates. Users of the mainland Alipay wallet will also be able to link their accounts to the MTR app for payment, according to people familiar with the matter. The aim is to have the new mobile payment system roll out to 91 of 93 MTR stations across the city by mid-2020. Plastiq raises $27M at 2X+ value to let you pay for anything on credit. Kleiner Perkins has just led a $27 million Series C for Plastiq with partner Ilya Fushman joining the board.

It shouldn't be any effort.” You'll also hear from Chief Customer Officer Ruth Handcock, who says her job is listening to customers, then translating that into what Tandem is building.

In this episode Tandem Takeover! We talk to the team building ‘a new kind of bank’ about how you can be digital and still be very human, how to recruit at a startup, the future of banking, how to be truly agile, how to advocate for customers, and more. Guests Ricky Knox, CEO @rickykno Ruth Handcock, Chief Customer Officer @RuthHandcock Nick Perrett, Chief Product Officer “A good bank feels like a bank that actually has your back, that therefore is making decisions in your interest, much like your doctor might or a good friend might,” says Tandem CEO Ricky Knox. “How does that translate into a product and how do we build banking that fits seamlessly around your life, pulls out all the hassle, and answers the requirements you might have for borrowing or lending on an automated basis? The first step in that is owning and understanding the data surrounding your financial services life and relationship. Pulling that data together and forming that holistic picture of how the person’s finances are evolving, and what their financial needs are at any one time, is a really key part of our proposition.” If you enjoyed the show, please take a moment to review us on iTunes.
