This week we have some great stories for you as David and Leda are joined by a couple of great guests:
Conny Dorestijn, Founding Partner at BankiFi
Ryan Edwards-Pritchard, MD of Funding Options
We kick off the episode by taking a look at Apple Card, Apple announced the launch of a credit card designed to help customers lead a healthier financial life. It offers no fees of any kind and encourages customers to pay less interest. Conny comments that it's a cool product that can deliver an excellent user experience across devices, which is where Apple will excel but Leda thinks that this isn't a gamechanger (03:06).
Next up, we talk about Oaknorth and Monzo teaming up to launch a savings account, Ryan thinks that this news is a great entry partnership for the companies and Leda adds that Oaknorth are the story right now more than Monzo (17:53).
We also talk to Amir Nooriala, COO of OakNorth to get some further insight into the partnership (21:00).
