The Fintech Magazine Issue 22

This issue of The Fintech Magazine is filled with some of the biggest talking points throughout the industry at the moment! In our Fintech Focus section, we tackle how to inspire a start-up nation, after learning about the partnership between OakNorth and the London School of Economics in empowering a new generation of founders. On Page 14, you can find out what Rishi Khosla, Chief Executive Officer at OakNorth, and Laura-Jane Silverman, Head of LSE Generate, had to say about the ‘Mentorpreneurship Programme’ and the powerful chain of value it creates.

We also have a very insightful outlook given from Lawrence Levy, former CFO of Pixar, where he details what it takes to navigate one of the most successful IPO’s in history, enshrining what the CFO’s role can and will be. And let’s not forget our very own, inaugural FF Awards which fairly and fabulously celebrated the amazing WOW moments throughout our ever-diversifying and dynamic industry.

Cloud technology continues to dominate headlines, as we hear from Mojo Mortgages, Saxo Bank, KeyBank and SmartStream about how ‘the only way is up’, ‘above and beyond, as we go ‘up, up and away.’ Amid the cloud puns, there’s important debates regarding the adoption of cloud technology and the vast positives that come with it.

In reality, customers never want to think about finance, and that is why embedded finance is so crucial. In speaking with global financial software solutions company, Finastra, as well as Banking Circle and Currencycloud, you’ll be sure to find out what the key trends are for the future of embedded finance and how alternative providers are disintermediating banks to transform the relationship consumers have with payments to the next level.
