BusinessCloud’s podcast webinar series Demystifying Tech ends 2023 with a special feature on the state of UK FinTech.
Demystifying Tech, brought to you in association with Tyto PR, examines the impact of tech on industry & the world around us via conversations with technologists at innovative companies.
In this episode, co-hosted by Zoë Clark of Tyto PR, we are joined by two companies which featured on our FinTech 50 ranking – Collctiv and GFA Exchange.
Manchester-based Collctiv, which topped the ranking, simplifies the money collection and payment process. Founded by former Twinkl executives Amy Whitell and Pete Casson, it is expanding rapidly in the United States and was recently the subject of a docuseries created by LinkedIn. CTO Casson will join us to discuss his experiences in the FinTech sector since launch.
GFA Exchange, based in Birmingham, uses artificial intelligence to identify risk in B2B finance and has a clear mission around financial inclusion. Founder Joel Blake OBE will explain his motivation for starting the business and how it works with incumbent institutions such as banks.
Clark, head of media and influence at Tyto, has long experience in B2B FinTech and financial services.
Demystifying Tech will be streamed on BusinessCloud.co.uk and across social media platforms at 12pm on Friday 8th December. It will be made available on our YouTube channel and all major audio podcast platforms the following week.
