Challenger banking is just getting started – Bianca Zwart, Bunq

Bianca Zwart, chief strategy officer at Bunq, discusses the massive issue of fraud, how Brexit has affected the company's UK operations and the exciting future of the banking sector. 

 

Bunq is a challenger bank founded in 2012. Zwart joined the firm in 2016 and worked across a handful of roles before leaving to become an entrepreneur. After founding a few companies, Zwart found herself returning to Bunq to work as its chief of staff and then its chief strategy officer. Headquartered in Amsterdam, Bunq for years operated in the UK before Brexit forced it to stop onboarding British users, though it is seeking a return.
