On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, host Kate Moody is joined by Mark Mullen, CEO and Co-Founder of Atom Bank. Before Monzo or Starling, there was Atom. It's been ten years since Atom Bank, a digital challenger bank based in the North East of England, was incorporated. Since then, it has grown to become one of the most profitable neobanks in Britain. Atom launched to the public in 2016 and has continued to go from strength to strength, announcing in March this year that it made an operating profit of £27m. We thought it was time to catch up with Mark to discuss how to build a trusted brand from scratch and hear about Atom’s plans for the future. And yes, we also asked him about their now famous 4-day work week.

On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, host Kate Moody is joined by some great guest to talk about the relationship between financial services and sport. As we’re making this episode, Paris is currently hosting the 2024 Olympic Games, welcoming thousands of athletes and millions of sports fans to France for the third time as a host city. So where does financial services fit into all this? Well, we’ve noticed a lot of brands in the space have been quick to attach themselves to the world of sport. Whether that’s by sponsoring events, teams, or the athletes themselves, often paying not insignificant sums of money for the privilege to do so. We’ve assembled a panel of experts, all of whom work for companies that are closely linked with sport, to find out why financial services loves sport and how brands can get the most out of these relationships.

In June 2023, HSBC Innovation Banking UK was launched at London Tech Week, following HSBC's acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank UK in March.

And just 3 months later HSBC Innovation Banking launched, taking the specialist knowledge of SVB and the global reach of HSBC, to enable businesses focused on innovation to compete globally. HSBC Innovation Banking UK has 700 employees and is a specialised banking proposition for businesses in cutting-edge sectors, such as tech and life sciences, and their investors.

In this episode, in collaboration with Visa, 11:FS host David Barton-Grimley, alongside Eddie Onaga, Vice President, Head of Digital Partnerships - Europe at Visa, is looking at the growth, rise and future of digital wallets in Western Europe. Digital wallets aren’t new, but with the rise of mobile technology and customers turning more and more to digital and contactless payment options post-pandemic the market is set to grow and grow. Digital wallets are set to account for up to 30% of e-commerce transactions in Europe this year, going up to over 50% in the UK alone by 2027. They are not going anywhere so we want to peel back the curtain of their rise and success and see what might be next on the horizon in this space. We also respond to the (at time of recording) hot off the press announcement from Apple that they will now give rivals access to the contactless payments technology on iPhones in Europe, meaning that their users will no longer be limited to the Apple Pay mobile wallet, and dig into the impact this could have on the space.
