S07E06 - Revving the Engine by Starling with Nick Drewett

Every vehicle needs an Engine, and in case your vehicle happens to be a financial institution you probably should have a listen to this week's episode of Fintech Daydreaming.

 

Chief Commercial Officer of Engine by Starling Nick Drewett joined Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu to talk about how the success of Starling Bank in the UK inspired the build-up of Engine by Starling; a software as a service platform that promises that any bank could become the Starling Bank of their own country.

 

Join us for another bi-weekly dose of fintech nerdiness as we get wonderfully lost with Sterling and how they relate to Engines 🤓🙃

S07E05 - Unraveling the Next Big Thing in Asia's Superapps with Alessio Basso

This special episode of Fintech Daydreaming was recorded live and for the first time ever in front of a live audience at the Mobey Forum member meeting in Vienna.

 

Alessio Basso from AWS joined us on stage to discuss one of the hottest topics in fintech right now: superapps. Is this phenomenon just the result of unique circumstances restricted to China or the future of digital ecosystems and service delivery on a global scale? Are superapps actually the next generation of digital wallets or is wallet just a simple feature in something much more complex?

 

Join us for the ride as we dash through this and more in this high energy live show 🎢😎

S07E04 - Fintech Down Under with Dexter Cousins

We go above and beyond with Down Under in this week's episode of Fintech Daydreaming as Pål and Ville is joined by Dexter Cousins from Tier One People to talk about the Australian fintech scene 🦘🪃🇦🇺

 

Recording an Ozzy episode is an entertaining proposition by default, but on top of that we might have ended up actually learning something about fintech and happy life - we hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did recording it 😎

S07E03 - Is SEB Embedded the next Nordic success story? with Christoffer Malmer

SEBx has been the poster child of Nordic bank innovation and subject of endless intrigue from the fintech community since its inception.

 

The founder of SEBx and current Head of SEB Embedded Christoffer Malmer joined Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu on this episode of Fintech Daydreaming to tell the whole story and share his insights to some of the burning questions everyone working with emerging technologies in banks is asking: how did SEBx get off the ground? How to navigate the control environment of an incumbent bank without losing the benefits of building on a clean slate?

 

Sit back, relax and enjoy this 45 minutes of unfiltered insight straight from ground zero of Nordic digital banking innovation 🍿💡

S07E02 - Days of future (payments) past with Anders Olofsson

Time is relative and we go quantity over quality in jokes when Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu get to host Anders Olofsson in this week's fix of Fintech Daydreaming.

 

We jump from bitcoin to central banks, to connection problems, to Wirecard and more in this fast paced episode. Doesn't sound like a plausible script for a podcast but somehow we covered it all in this rollercoaster of an episode that shouldn't bore anyone - so grab the popcorn and enjoy the ride 😄

S07E01 - Are Fintech and Banks ready to take on the Challenges of ESG?

Season seven is here! Our Fintech Daydreaming hosts Pål Krogdahl and Ville Sointu have (mostly) survived the holiday season, and have picked-up right back where we left off in 2022 by starting with one of the most important topics we are all going to be talking about in 2023: ESG in banking and fintech.

 

Luckily we found just the right expert to tell us all about the ups and downs of the challenge that we're facing in ESG: Adam Thompson spends his days making an impact in this space but managed to spare some time to discuss with us about what the state of affairs looks like right now and what we need to do move the needle in making the world quite literally a better place.
