Six episodes unpacking the real reason banks can’t move fast. Cornel Dixon walks through vendor dependency, what it costs, why it’s rarely calculated in, and what actually changes when banks stop waiting for permission and start owning their digital strategy. One thread. One argument. Built episode by episode.

In this episode, Ben breaks down why traditional banks spend two years just reaching basic functionality while missing the features that actually matter to customers. He explains the Shopify model for banking, giving financial institutions out-of-the-box tools so they can focus on what makes them unique rather than rebuilding the wheel. He also gets refreshingly honest about why many neobanks are not as different from traditional banks as they want you to believe, and why the talent culture in the Baltics keeps drawing him back for engineering talent even as costs have risen.
