On this episode of Fintech Insider Inisghts, 11:FS CEO David M. Brear is joined by our very own CTO Ewan Silver for a fireside chat to unpick what we mean when we say the services have fallen out of financial services.

Our expert host Ross Gallagher is joined by some great guests to dive into the subject of holistic financial wellbeing. What does that even mean, I hear you ask? Well, we’re going to answer that, while looking at the value add for customers within the ecosystem of one brand, how the brands can cultivate that customer stickiness and retention to keep them within the brand’s umbrella, while offering them new products and services to improve their financial health and management. We also look at the balance between guidance and advice and how to bake this into propositions and how brands can tread the line between the two, while still offering value to customers.

This week we’re bringing you a very special rewind show from the Fintech Insider archives. Hosted by Benjamin Ensor and joined by some very special guests from Allica bank, Anthemis and This Week in Fintech, the show asked the question: How should we measure success in fintech?' In a period where valuations are tumbling, we’re seeing fintechs either get bought out entirely or sadly have to shutter their doors, we’re examining whether valuation and customer numbers are the best measure of success for fintech. Should we be paying more attention to profitability or the problems they are solving for their home markets? Or are there even success metrics we haven’t thought of at all? This is as highly relevant a discussion now as it was almost a year ago when we first had it, perhaps even more so. This week's guests include: Katie Palenscar, Managing Director & Global Head of Venture Studio, Anthemis Nik Milanović, Editor, This Week In Fintech Richard Davies, CEO, Allica Bank Come and see the show L
