• 976. Insights: Designing accessible fintech products for those with learning disabilities with Project Nemo

  About this episode: How accessible do you think financial services are? For many with a disability the answer is probably not that accessible.  In this very special episode, Benjamin Ensor, Director of Research and Strategy at 11:FS, is joined by Project Nemo: an organisation working to highlight accessibility challenges across financial services and bring together the tools of fintech to help solve these problems. Over one and a half million people in the UK experience some form of learning disability, making accessible banking a global imperative. Not all disabilities are visible, and they encompass a broad spectrum of challenges faced by those with disabilities. Some of these include difficulties accessing technologies, cognitive impairments, or increased susceptibility to fraudsters and scammers. We hope that by the end of this episode you’ll know exactly what Project Nemo is, and what does it mean when we say we should "be more Nemo"? This week's guests: Joanne Dewar - Co-founder of Project Nemo, Hannah Darley - Senior Director of Strategy at CI&T Kathryn Townsend - UK Government Disability & Access Ambassador for the Banking Sector and Head of Customer Vulnerability, Access and Inclusion, at Nationwide Building Society.

• 974. Insights: Trust me, I’m verified - The future of digital identity in financial services

  About this episode: On this week’s Fintech Insider Insights, in partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, we’re diving into one of the most pressing challenges in financial services: digital identity. Every time someone opens an account or logs into a service, one big question needs answering: is this person really who they say they are? Fraudsters are getting smarter - using deepfakes, synthetic identities, and AI-driven attacks to fool even the most advanced systems. In fact, according to LexisNexis Risk Solutions, 1 in 11 new accounts is now fraudulent. So, how do businesses balance fraud prevention, regulatory pressure, and customer experience - without adding friction? And could the very tech that’s fuelling the problem also be part of the solution? To unpack all this, our host Benjamin Ensor is joined by a fantastic panel of guests. This week's guests: Lorraine Salmond - Head of Identity Strategy, UK and Ireland at LexisNexis Risk Solutions  Katryna Dow - CEO and Founder of Meeco  Azy Shojaeian - Group Chief Compliance & Risk Officer & MLRO at Pockit & Monese To explore the insights Lorraine Salmond from LexisNexis Risk Solutions shares in this week’s episode, you can download the latest Global Cybercrime Report for free -- Links to check out:  Join our WhatsApp community, where you can get the inside track on all all things 11:FS, as well as having your say on the things we should be paying attention to. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://chat.whatsapp.com/KpA4gFbbWDlLFm7kx39raf⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support our charity partner School-Home Support ⁠⁠⁠ -- Support our sponsors: If you're running an early-stage business with Seed or Series A funding, Tide’s new savings account offers rates up to 4.48% (AER), with instant access to your money.
