904. Insights: Is this the start of the first great Wallet War?

On this episode of Fintech Insider Insights, in association with Curve, host David Barton-Grimley is joined by a panel of payments and e-wallets experts to tackle the emerging Wallet Wars.

Apple Pay – and the Apple Wallet – has become dominant in the space over the last decade, but with the tech giant forced to open the iPhone up to third-party wallets, there’s suddenly competition in the market.

So, we’re delving into the challengers looking to take on Apple and innovate in the wallets space. 

This week's guests:

1. Shachar Bialick - Founder and CEO of Curve 
2. Tom Noyes - Partner at Starpoint LLP 
3. Fliss Berridge - Director and Co-Founder of Ordo
