On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, host David M. Brear is joined by Simon Bumfrey, Head of Technology & Life Sciences at HSBC Innovation Banking UK. In June 2023, HSBC Innovation Banking UK was launched at London Tech Week, following HSBC's acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank UK in March. It was one of the fastest and smoothest acquisitions ever with fintechs, banks, regulators and more coming together to make the transaction over a weekend. 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. So we want to find out a little more about HSBC Innovation Banking and reflect on the last year since that initial launch.

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.

Our expert host Kate Moody is joined by some great guests in the second of our two part special, 'How to Buy a Bank'. In the previous episode, David Brear and guests covered what actually happens when one bank decides to buy another. So in this episode we are diving deep inside banks, to uncover what really goes on in the organisations themselves during a merger or acquisition, once the ink is dry and the businesses now have to work together. The process of actually combining two banks can take months, even years, as departments, systems, processes, and people are brought together under one group. Not only do banks need to consider the practical things, like which IT system to use, or how to get everyone from one email server to another, but there are also wider cultural challenges. How do you combine two workforces, and two ways of working, into one harmonious company set up for long term success? This week's guests include: Dave Morris, Global Head of Technology at 11:FS Rupy Malizia, Chief Strategic Transformation Officer at HSBC Innovation Banking Mariela Hunter, a Fractional COO Highlights from this episode: How early in a merger should you think about the tech? (04:30) The hardest thing to manage about a transition (09:25) The focus is 90% on tech and data is an afterthought (14:30) What are the dependencies around a bank? (19:20) Taking staff on the journey (24:30) Leveraging feedback loops (28:45) Merging teams in separate locations (34:55) Company culture and benefits (37:20) Integrating tech, combining cultures, streamlining products - acquisitions have plenty of moving parts but here at 11:FS, we've got the in-house expertise to help make that process as smooth as possible.
