News EN ↓ 31 episodes

Inspired by British TV classics like “Mock the Week”, “Have I Got News For You” and many more, this is NOT your normal video / vlog / podcast format. Each week, the quizmaster will question the contestants on the Fintech and Financial Services stories of the week that was, while they will in turn attempt to score points off the ruthless judge through a combination of witty, snarcastic (and occasionally insightful too we hope) responses. The judge’s decision is final, even though points and penalties may be arbitrarily awarded!
