Conver­sa­tions that challenge the status quo

The F|M Podcast brings you guests and topics that provoke new ways of thinking about our digital financial world and why it matters.


Access to financial services impacts economic freedom, choices, and opportunities: today 1.4 billion people worldwide remain excluded. We speak to people of all backgrounds and disciplines at the intersection of technology, policy, commerce and creativity who are challenging the status quo.
