Show Notes
Welcome to Under the Hood, a brand new podcast from 11:FS and Synapse!
Hosted by 11:FS co-founder Simon Taylor and Synapse CEO Sankaet Pathak, we are lifting the lid on banking infrastructure and taking you deep into the technology that is disrupting traditional models and shaking up the system to improve the financial lives of customers around the world.
In this episode, we want to start at the beginning of the journey, looking at the financial services ecosystem as a whole and looking at how technology is disrupting not just banking but also making us question what it means to be a bank, at all. To dive deeper into this, we’re joined by some excellent guests.
Neel Ganu, Founder of Finch

This week, Simon and Sankaet are looking at big banks holistically and asking the big question: Why can’t banks innovate?
Simon and Sankaet are deep diving into the card issuance space today, lifting the lid on how card payments and technology actually works; as well as looking at where the greatest disruption in this space is coming from; how to choose a card partner and the advantages of having one; and what the future of cards might be.
Simon and Sankaet are deep diving intro the cryptocurrency space, looking at what is a stable coin and how is it different from crypto assets such as bitcoin?
