What the Fintech?

In this episode of the What the FinTech? podcast, host and FinTech Futures Managing Editor Paul Hindle is joined by Lee McNabb, Payment and Digital Asset Lead at NatWest, to explore the growing role of digital assets in payments and financial services, and how banks such as NatWest are positioning themselves to lead in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Paul and Lee will discuss how banks should approach their payment strategies in an era of multiple payment rails and emerging technologies like stablecoins, what the mainstream adoption of tokenised deposits and programmable payments could mean for both retail and corporate customers, and the technical challenges of modernising legacy infrastructure while maintaining 24/7 availability.

Whether you're a banking executive navigating digital transformation, a fintech professional exploring the future of payments, or simply curious about how digital assets will reshape the way money moves, this episode will offer essential insights into the strategies, challenges, and opportunities defining the next era of financial services.
