What Vault's co-founder learned at Revolut

"If you want to succeed and build an enduring and large business for Canadians, that has to be your focus. Nothing else. If you want to focus on Canada as an additional market or a secondary market, it's not going to work out." Three years after its bold expansion strategy, Revolut has a banking license in the UK, but not much to show in the US or Canada. The company's former North American Head of Strategy & Operations, Saud Aziz, joins the podcast this week to discuss what went wrong and the lessons he's taking forward with his new FinTech startup, Vault.
