It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival. Necessity sparked innovation and customers are enjoying more flexibility and conveni ...

Let’s face it, Real estate education has lost the script. Everybody “claims” to have the secret sauce. They get you to sign up, get you to bite on a “magic” formula, but there’s no real tools to get there. There’s so much talk, no practical steps. It’s not instructional, it’s hype. The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’ve been searching for a way to escape the rat race and achieve true financial freedom wholesaling real ...

About this episode:
On this episode of Fintech Insider, host David Barton-Grimley sits down with Matej Pfajfar, Group CTO at Monzo Bank, to talk about one of the fintech industry's least glamorous - but most critical - topics: outages.
With banking apps now at the core of how we manage money, a few minutes of downtime can spark serious disruption. Back in February 2025, a wave of UK bank outages affected millions and it feels like the problem is only getting worse.
So, how is Monzo planning to stay ahead?
Enter Monzo Stand In, the bank’s behind-the-scenes solution designed to keep essential services running, even when things go wrong.
On this episode we unpack what an outage actually means in modern banking, why they’re so hard to avoid, and how Monzo’s unique culture and architecture enabled them to build resilience into their platform by design.
This week's guest:
- Matej Pfajfar - Group Chief Technology Officer, Monzo Bank
