    Whitechapel Think Tank (WTT) Plenary | Digital Payments: Banking as a Service | 1st December 2022 

    Our last plenary meeting was a deep dive into Banking as a service where we explored what embedded-finance and banking-as-a-service trends mean for the future of financial services. Within the session we heard from industry leaders in this space including John Salter (Clear Bank), Rajesh Sadhwani (DXC Technology), Paul Brown (Techpassport) and Bradley Rice (Ashurst), discuss what this means for Banks and our panel debate considered the risks and issues such business models pose for industry members.
