Jason Bates, Co- Founder, Mondo Bank

Dubbed Mondo, the startup is described as a “full stack” and mobile-first bank, in reference to the fact that it isn’t simply a mobile app piggybacking existing banking software or an existing bank in order to offer a better User Experience. Instead, my understanding is that the company’s plans and accompanying technology is considerably more ambitious.
Mondo recently shattered all fundraising records when it met its 1 million target on crowdfunding site CrowdCube a 1 min 37 seconds!
This is enabling the company to create what Blomfield calls on his LinkedIn profile a “smart” bank, with features that aren’t always possible simply by plugging into legacy banking software and infrastructure that often dates as far back as the 1970s.

Chris Gledhill, Founder Secco Bank

Top global FinTech influencer, writer, speaker, technologist and futurist, Chris is on a mission to reinvent banking. Former lead of disruptive innovation labs at Lloyds Banking Group, Chris is now CEO of UK Challenger Bank Secco. Chris is based in London and regularly speaks and blogs about FinTech.
