Fintech Radar

👋 Hi all, As anyone who nows me can tell you, I love spending time talking about, investing in and being around the fintech industry. I fundamentally think that we’re just starting to see the impact improved financial services will have on our everyday lives - and not only through the direct channels we’re used to, but also more broadly in all the other services we consume (the ‘every startup becomes a fintech’ thesis). For example, the rise of challenger banks in the in UK and alternative lenders in the US has heralded a new way for people to interact with the stale financial services industry. However, as the fintech industry continues to grow it is becoming harder to keep up with all the happenings and more importantly parse the signal from the noise - and trust me it is getting really noisy. Thus, the birth of Fintech Radar. I thought I’d start writing (again) about the industry and provide my cut on what I think is important and how it’ll impact consumers, industry insiders and all the fintech adjacent industries. Alongside the usual weekly news, I’ll throw in some ‘inside baseball’ takes on what goings on and views on what is not being discussed (which is usually just as important). Issues will drop on Sundays (with plans for more content weekly too). So, if you’re into fintech (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?) you’ll find something of interest in each issue.
