In this episode of The Human Orbit, we sit down with Coen Jonker, Founder and Group CEO, Tyme Group, to unpack what it really takes to build and scale digital banks.
Coen Jonker has a unique perspective on the "yin and yang" of banking innovation, from knowing which rules to follow to knowing exactly when to break them. We dive deep into:
⚖️ The Banker Balance: Why the most successful digital banks employ a mix of seasoned bankers and bold non-bankers.
🌍 Customer Immersion: Why Coen took his team to live in a rural village to truly understand the people they serve.
🔮 The Death of the App: Why the future of banking isn't an app, but embedded, contextual experiences that show up exactly when you need them.
🤝 Sales & Humility: Why sales is the most honorable profession for any entrepreneur.
Whether you're a fintech founder or a traditional banker looking to disrupt the status quo, this conversation is packed with "boots-on-the-ground" wisdom.
▶️ Listen till the end for insights founders and operators rarely talk about.
