Value Bombs:

  • Open banking is all about placing your money, your data, your transactions on your bank in the consumer's hand. Shifting the ownership of the transactions that you have with a bank back to you, rather than leaving them with the bank. - Samantha
  • Women need to start taking ownership for their own pension. - Samantha
  • There is still a gender split in the family, the man's pension will be fully funded and the woman is almost paying for her own maternity leave. - Karen
  • Money is the enabler to live the life that we need. - Samantha
  • FinTech startups are ahead of the banks. - Samantha
  • I have been paid less my entire life, because I'm a woman. - Samantha
  • If your parents started saving a pound a week from when you were born by the time you're 30 you would have enough savings to retire on and live a very, very comfortable life. - Samantha
