Welcome to part one of a three part podcast series recorded live from the British Consulate in Sydney. Back in 2018 I began supporting the work of the UK Department for Business and Trade in their efforts to establish a UK/Australia fintech bridge. Each year a UK Fintech Mission heads down under as part of Intersekt week. It’s a fantastic opportunity not only to showcase what Australia has to offer, but to learn from our UK cousins. So over this 3 part series I’m bringing interviews with the delegates sharing their insights, experiences and their thoughts to the Australian Fintech community Guest one - Michael Ward UK DBT In this episode I chat to Michael Ward who was the Deputy Trade Commissioner when the Fintech Bridge was established in 2017, Michael now supports the UK DBT in an advisory capacity. Guests two - Raidiam I’m then joined by the founders of Raidiam, Ralph Bragg and Barry O'donohoe for what is a very insightful discussion on open banking and CDR. Ralph and Barry chat about their experiences implementing open banking in the UK and Brazil - it’s eye opening stuff! https://raidiam.com/ Subscribe Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/fintech-leaders-7092732051488980992/ Apple: https://apple.co/3D7NsPt Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3IzSViQ Subscribe and like on Youtube: https://bit.ly/3tBlRmE Connect on Linkedin: https://bit.ly/3DsCJBp Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DexterCousins
