Back in January we were delighted to participate in the Breaking Banks fintech podcast Episode 372: The Nitty Gritty of Innovation. Our very own VP of Business Development, Erenia Kontolatou, had the chance to discuss with: 


With the constant change of the digital banking market over the last few years, Brett King led the discussion of how “competitive benchmarking can prime differentiation at a business plan level if you are a start up’.

Together they covered:

  • The challenging high-competition digital banking market for Legacy and Challenger banks

 

“It’s so important having organizations really monitoring what’s happening because we’re seeing changes happening every single day, (in challenger banks) while at Legacy banks upgrades will happen...maybe once a year”

Jim Marous

  • Scientia and its digital banking research platform, FinTech Insights, which analyzes banks and fintechs worldwide, while evaluating their UX
  • Frost’s strategy to differentiating the launching of a new smart digital bank account in the UK market
"We stood out among hundreds of Challenger banks utilizing Fintech Insights data"

  • How Frost leveraged FinTech Insights to benchmark itself against the other banks and fintechs in the UK market and create a better digital product and UX design
