Fintech Chatter: Conversations with Fintech CEOs and Founders
#82 Macgregor Duncan, Westpac
In episode 82 of Fintech Chatter Dexter Cousins is joined by Macgregor Duncan of Westpac. They discuss the 10x partnership and how Westpac's Banking as a Service model brings Fintech and Banking closer.
In October 2020 Westpac announced a landmark partnership with Fintech giant, Afterpay.
The partnership will allow Afterpay to provide Westpac transaction and savings accounts and other cashflow management tools to its 3.3 million customers in Australia.
To our knowledge, no other such partnership exists in the world of Fintech. Further partnerships with Society One demonstrate Westpac's desire to work with Fintech rather than compete.
As we head into Intersekt Festival 2021 Macgregor talks candidly of the challenges facing incumbent banks. He also shares his thoughts on how banks can adapt and become part of a very exciting but uncertain future.
