Why you should watch: This month’s review of FinTech developments covers everything from the BoE’s review of DeFi, to Apple’s assault on privacy, Harry and Meghan’s new jobs, the future of BNPL, Charlotte Crosswell’s gig at OBIE, Walmart and Monzo…Oh, and a pretty corruscating attack on Tether. Lots to be chewed over with the FT’s Jemima Kelly and one of the UK’s major internet entrepreneurs.

Jemima Kelly is a reporter for FTAlphaville and an increasingly influential commentatiot on social (and technology) affairs for the FT. itself.

Nick Ogden ‘invented e-commerce’ in 1994, by setting up the Wine Warehouse. Since then, he has gone on to bigger things, founding WorldPay, Cashflows, ClearBank and RTGS Global. He is a serial start-up entrepreneur, whose current interests include Geidea in Saudi Arabia – one of the first FinTech start-ups in the Kingdom.
