About The London Fintech Podcast

Europe’s longest-running Fintech podcast. Exploring what’s next.

Launched in July 2014, The London Fintech Podcast has followed the evolution of finance and technology for more than a decade.

Founded by Mike Baliman and now hosted by Tony Clark, the show brings together people shaping financial services to explore the ideas, technologies and developments that could define its future.

What’s next in Fintech?

That question is at the heart of the show.

From AI and digital assets to new ways of banking, investing and moving money, each conversation explores where financial services could be heading and what that might mean for businesses, customers and society.

Guests draw on their own experience to explain what they see coming, why they expect it and where the picture remains uncertain. The aim is to make the future of Fintech understandable, interesting and relevant to you.

More than a decade of perspective

The podcast’s archive brings together conversations with people from emerging Fintech businesses, established financial institutions, regulation and economics.

Guests have included Lord Turner, former head of the Financial Services Authority; Sir Paul Tucker, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England; and economist Professor John Kay.

That history gives the show a broad perspective on how financial services change, connecting new ideas with the experience of people who have seen earlier promises tested in practice.
