2021 has been a year of two halves – the first we were all dealing with life under lockdown. And the second half, supercharged with the vaccine programme, has seen life trying to get back to normal. But whatever the conditions, financial criminals have carried on regardless, capitalising on pandemic conditions and our increasing reliance on techno...

An interesting article in Tearsheet discusses a recent CapitalOne study that shows how much concern there is for financial wellness within Gen Z. It’s a significant amount. Nearly 80% wish they were taught basic money skills at school. And 83% say they learn about finance from their families. Let’s put this in perspective. Gen Z are people that ar...

Over the past decade, digital transformation has worked its way to the top of C-suite agendas. Though while it started out as a global business phenomenon, it quickly lost momentum.

Banking has traditionally been an industry slow to change. Our very concept of a bank has, until the last decade or so, remained consistent with the big, high street providers that define how we think of banks and banking. Of course, the advent of digital payments and mobile banking quickly changed all that. But while we’re now used to banks as vir...
