700. News: America's big banks team up to take on PayPal

Our expert host, Kate Moody, is joined by some great guests to ask: "What will define the user experience in financial services this year?" 
No matter how amazing your financial services product may be, if the UX isn’t up to scratch, then no one is going to find out.

So what were the successes of 2022, what were the challenges of the last twelve months, and what do we predict will dominate user experiences in 2023? 
This week's guests include:
Lindsey Kistler, Product Director - Pulse, 11:FS
