Ep. 3 - Open Banking, Fintech Consulting and the Creator Economy with Jas Shah

In this episode of The Payments Shed Podcast, hosts Grant Evans and Justin Hanna sit down with Jas Shah, fintech consultant and author of Fintech: Under the Hood, to explore his journey from product leader to independent consultant — and how he’s shaping conversations around open banking, fintech innovation, and the creator economy.Together, they unpack:Career Beginnings: how Jas built a product leadership career across banking and fintech, and the lessons that continue to guide him today.From Employee to Consultant: what pushed him to step away from corporate life to launch his own consultancy, and how he built credibility in a competitive market.Open Banking Challenges: regulation, adoption, and the reality behind recent moves from Visa and JP Morgan — plus whether open banking has truly lost momentum or simply reached maturity.The Creator Economy: how writing, sharing, and thought leadership have accelerated Jas’s consulting success — and why being a creator is now essential for fintech founders.Looking Ahead: Jas’s vision for Fintech: Under the Hood, where consulting can add the most value today, and what the next chapter of fintech transformation might look like.And of course, no episode would be complete without The Shelf of Shame — where Jas joins Grant and Justin to banish one thing from the fintech world forever.***The Payments Shed Podcast is sponsored by TAMI AI.TAMI AI is the market intelligence and lead generation platform built for sales and marketing teams who want precision, not guesswork.
