Today, mid covid-crisis and with banks under increasing criticism I interview Lee Birkett, founder and CEO of P2P platform JustUs who today wrote to the UK Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the Business Secretary, asking they open the doors to #Fintech so that business can be helped now, when it's most needed, rather than in a month or two's time - and too late for many businesses.
Banks don't want competition but in a crisis it's all hands to the pumps and fintech has come together and can deliver at scale and in time to keep business is alive.
It's time for the banks lobbyists to stand aside and allow fintech to do the job that they cannot.
