A Five Generation Workplace
Thursday 26 March 2020
by Lisa Moyle
Populations that are both living and working longer are having a profound impact on the workplace. As many of us sit in our homes working instead of our offices, it is clear to us that the world of work is changing. Although a pandemic has necessitated and accelerated remote working arrangements, it is worth remembering

Ageism in an ageing world
Tuesday 11 February 2020

Not too long ago I sat in the audience and listened to a speaker from a very large financial institution describe the usage statistics (by age) of their banking app. He noted that take up of the app was very low above the age of 55. The conclusion being, he went on to say, that

Stage not age – FinTECH4Life kick starts the conversation
Wednesday 22 May 2019
by Lisa Moyle
Over the past 100 years the human population has done a very good job at staying alive. Not only are people living longer, but they are healthier and wealthier than ever before. How is the financial services industry responding to this? Especially when we live in a society that seems obsessed with developing and marketing

Longevity and the wellness gap come into focus in the UK
Wednesday 08 May 2019
by Lisa Moyle
Ageing has come of age. The all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for longevity launched yesterday in the Houses of Parliament with not one but two members of parliament in attendance. As noted by both Damian Green, MP and Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, ageing societies and longevity are defining features of many

Fintech – Ending Financial Exploitation
Wednesday 06 March 2019
by Lisa Moyle
Fraud is a serious and persistent issue across the financial services sector and no one is immune from those who wish to part us from our money. The incentives (and rewards) for bad actors are too compelling and they follow customers across all of their financial journeys, from the doorstep to the branch to ATMS

An Age of Opportunity: Driving Innovation
Thursday 28 February 2019
by Lisa Moyle
For those of us old enough to remember the TV adverts of the 1980s – one in particular, for a home emergency service, replayed the image of an elderly woman lying on the floor of her home crying ‘I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!’. The ad was the source of many a parody and comedy sketch. Decades later the raft

Shaking up later in life lending
Thursday 21 February 2019
by Lisa Moyle
The typical retiree of the past does not exist. That mythical being who is heading into retirement with a guaranteed final salary pension scheme, a mortgage (and other debts) that is largely paid off, and dependent children long gone, is simply not the reality any longer. Working life for many does come to a hard stop, the mortgage payments still
Innovating for Ageing – A chatty solution for a lonely problem
Thursday 07 February 2019
by Lisa Moyle
Loneliness can affect many of us at any stage of life. Young people just starting off life in a big city, a new mother home with a colicky baby or even teenager struggling to fit in at school. However, loneliness affects those at the later stages of their life in acute and profound ways. Creating a means

The key purpose underlying FinTECH4Life is to explore how we might better serve the large and growing market of consumers over 55. The arc to life from 55 and beyond, culminating in the end of life is, as complex and diverse as we might imagine. Understanding the needs of those consumers requires an analysis of the intersection of

Distrupting Retirement
Thursday 17 January 2019
by Lisa Moyle
Financial services aimed at the over 55 market is often ‘grey, big, ugly and uninspiring’. Considering that those who are 55 years of age and older, control the vast majority of the world’s wealth and investible assets, they are a market that it would be foolish to ignore. Many in the over 55 demographic are
