MONZO BANK: "Our Intent Is To Make Money Work For Everyone"

from The Z-X Spectrum · host Lizzie Hodgson & Brandon Relph

In this episode of the Z-X Spectrum podcast, we interview Meri Williams, CTO of Monzo Bank, the digital-only bank that's really shaking up the banking industry.   In our chat, we explore Monzo's tremendous growth: at date of the recording they were at 2.8 million customers. But their growth isn't just in account terms. Their teams of engineers are getting big too.  So how do you scale a company so rapidly? How do you onboard effectively? And how do you create a truly transparent, people-first culture?  We also deep dive into diversity and inclusivity - or DandI as Meri refers to it, and explore wider issues including how hopeful she is for young people as they adapt to an ever-changing world, but also touch on her concerns regarding misinformation being weaponised to radicalise people. All hugely pertinent topics.   Learn more about Monzo:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/monzo  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MakingMonzo Website: https://monzo.com/  Learn more about Meri Williams:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Geek_Manager  Website: http://blog.geekmanager.co.uk/  NEXT EPISODE: Sarah Johns, Chief Cashier from Bank of England.
