S04E06 - Buy now, Panic later with David Horton
By popular demand we're finally doing an episode dedicated to one of the hottest fintech topics of 2021: Buy now, pay later. Our guest David Horton, the CEO and founder of Thynk Digital, joins Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu to tell us all about BNPL and the recently published research by Thynk Digital on the topic.
How does it all work? Is it ethical?
Tune in to find out and learn how BNPL solution providers make profits - or losses - and who probably ends up paying for all this 💸🙈
Guest: David Horton, CEO & Founder of Thynk Digital
S04E05 - Death to banking products, long live client centricity with Chris Vick
What's the common denominator between Harrods department store, supermarkets, gourmet restaurants, legos and VR glasses?
We're not really sure either! But everything in that list is used as analogies in this episode of our podcast where Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu go the extra mile with our guest Chris Vick from Backbase, in trying to connect fintech and banking to things that really have nothing to do with each other. This was way more fun than it sounds like. You have been warned...
Guest: Chris Vick, Director of Global Alliances at BackBase
S04E04 - AI & Machine Learning - a bank perspective with Mattias Fras
Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) a perpetually emerging technology - a mirage in the horizon we will never really reach? Tune in to this fascinating discussion with Nordea Bank's Head of AI Hub Mattias Fras, who joined Ville Sointu and Pål Krogdahl in our virtual Fintech Daydreaming studio to talk about what it means to work with AI and data in a regulated financial institution.
Guest: Mattias Fras, Group Head of AI Hub, Nordea Bank
S04E03 - Ecosystem Banking and the Platform Economy with Simon Torrance
This time on Fintech Daydreaming Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu talk to the author of New Growth Playbook and "Fightback - how to win in the digital economy with platforms, ventures and entrepreneurs" Simon Torrace.
If you are a regular listener, you've probably already heard many times that the future of banking is in platforms, but what does that mean in context of the latest fintech hype: Embedded Finance? If both supply and distribution of banking services is being disrupted, will banks soon be just a dumb pipe? This and more in our fun chat with Simon!
Guest: Simon Torrance - Founder & CEO, Embedded Finance & Super App Strategies
S04E02 - DeFi and financial science with Nitin Gaur
Decentralized finance - or DeFi - has been around for a while now, and as we're seeing a lot of activity in this space it was finally time to bring it up as a topic in our podcast!
For this episode, Ville Sointu and Pål Krogdahl are joined by Director of Digital Assets and Financial Sciences at IBM Nitin Gaur, who walks us through the complex landscape of DeFi and what makes it different from traditional finance.
Is it all just a giant digital casino, or a real shift in the way financial ecosystems are built? Tune in, learn and tell us what you think!
Guest: Nitin Gaur
