S08:E03 - Cost of convenience with Marcus Ivarsson

Do you have children? If you do, here’s something to think about: your kids are probably multimillionaires before they ever get their hands on a real bank account. How is this, we hear you ask...

 

This is true because of most kids getting exposure to virtual worlds like games with their own digital economies. But this also creates a financial education challenge when bridging the gap from virtual to real money.

 

Marcus Ivarsson has realised this abstraction of monetary value as a design problem that needs to be solved. As the CEO and founder of Tjing, he and his team are trying to find the right answers to the question: how to make money as understandable and intuitive as cash in a world where everything is digital? Hint: It must be something more than a number on a screen.

 

Join Marcus, Pål and Ville in this episode for all this, a very bad joke and much more!

S08:E02 - The culture of invisible banking with Sudip Khan

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast” is a phrase you hear quite often when talking about developing organisations towards sustainable growth. What happens when the development you need to get done is in a bank and the direction you are taking is invisible banking? How do you cultivate a culture that becomes an environment for innovation in a regulated banking environment?

 

Sudip Khan is the Open Banking Leader in one of Europe’s largest banks, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), and is facing this exact dynamic in his daily work. In this episode Sudip talks about how perhaps non-conventional fintech topics like culture, empathy and listening are keys to success -- and of course never checking your customer’s balance. Listen in and learn why!
