Inspired by British TV classics like “Mock the Week”, “Have I Got News For You” and many more, this is NOT your normal video / vlog / podcast format. Each week, the quizmaster will question the contestants on the Fintech and Financial Services stories of the week that was, while they will in turn attempt to score points off the ruthless judge through a combination of witty, snarcastic (and occasionally insightful too we hope) responses.
The judge’s decision is final, even though points and penalties may be arbitrarily awarded!

Who wants a CBDC?
CBDCs were in the headlines again this week as the European Commission unveiled their legislative proposal for a digital euro, but does anyone actually want it? There were elements of the announcement that caught our attention that the team thought could kill the business case (if there even is one to begin with).
Britcoin, physical Bitcoins and bad Belgian jokes all featured in the show that once again had Chris stealing Rik's mic as he battled for the karaoke crown.

Are you ready for the (crypto) tsunami?
A major bank points to a $15 trillion potential wave crashing through financial services - will this be a bigger disaster than climate change or the opportunity of a lifetime for financial services?
Will the IPO of a 183 year old bank on the London Stock exchange give a much needed boost to investor confidence?
It seems like Chris is trying to take the mic from Rik as he regails us with a song ...... but did he manage to score extra points from the judge with his efforts?
Our guest judge Rita Liu weighed in with expert opinions and perspectives in a show that included a totally irrelevant story about mermaids - you'll have to watch / listen to find out more!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - Fintech Uncut EP026
Will Fintechs kill banks?
Will AI kill us?
Did Money2020 Europe kill the half of the team that attended?
The short answers are no, no and no and for the longer answers we're afraid you'll just have to watch / listen to the show!
Oh ... and both Rik and Chris broke out in song this time (but not together - we still await the first duet).

Generative AI and the Future of Financial Services - Fintech Uncut EP025
A major Global Bank registered a trademark this week for a "ChatGPT like" service to help clients with investment advice although global finfluencer Paolo Sironi thinks they aren't taking "FU" into account in their algorithms.
It seems our quizmaster Rik might have been spending a bit too much time with ChatGPT this week as he busts out the Fintech poetry in an episode that includes crypto, ai killer drones and hugs ...........
