In episode 114, Jason Bates and David Brear interview Mariano Belinky,  Managing Partner of Santander InnoVentures and Shachar Bialick, CEO of Curve, following the announcement last week of Santander’s recent investment in Curve, in an expansion of their growing fintech portfolio.

They discuss how InnoVentures fits into Santander’s digital approach, and what the investment of Curve and two other fintechs brings them, the longterm business plan of Curve and how Santander’s investment will help them achieve this.

They also talk APIs, open banking and what our guests’ views on upcoming PSD2 directives are.
