11 Best Fintech Podcasts of 2026

Staying current in fintech has always required effort, but the sheer amount of developments occurring at the moment makes it incredibly difficult to keep up.

Thankfully, podcasts are relatively easy to consume, and include people who actually work inside the financial technology industry. This means they tend to communicate things that don’t make it into polished press releases.

But, as with many other things, not all of the content out there is worth your time. Some shows just go quiet without notice. Others publish infrequently enough that they barely function as news sources.

Let’s look at some of the best fintech podcasts that are still active and covering genuinely useful fintech topics for professionals.

If you need fintech professionals on your team who are up to date with the latest trends, you are in the right place. At Trio, we focus only on fintech, allowing our developers to stay up to date with the latest developments globally.

Key Takeaways

• Breaking Banks, founded by Brett King in 2013, holds the title of the #1 global fintech radio show and podcast. They publish every Thursday to hundreds of thousands of listeners all over the world.
• The Fintech Insider Podcast by 11FS publishes twice weekly, giving it more volume than any other show on this list, and the guests are made up of some high-profile leaders in well-known companies.
• Not every fintech podcast on the internet is still active. Several well-known shows go quiet with little warning, so it is important to make sure you are listening to recent episodes to avoid outdated information.

1. Breaking Banks

If you want to listen to a truly global fintech podcast, Breaking Banks is a great option. There is a reason it’s at the top of the list.

Founded in 2013 by Brett King, fintech entrepreneur and author, it holds the title of the longest-running dedicated fintech podcast.

Jason Henrichs and JP Nicols have also joined as co-hosts and executive producers, bringing investor and advisory perspectives alongside King’s operator experience.

The show airs every Thursday, and the episodes seem to average around an hour in length, consisting largely of deep dives into specific topics.

Guests have included people from JP Morgan Chase, central banks, early-stage fintechs, and VC firms across multiple continents.

What makes Breaking Banks useful, in our opinion, is that it frequently surfaces the operational side of fintech. One week might cover open banking regulation, the next stablecoins and cross-border payment infrastructure.

2. Fintech Insider Podcast by 11FS

The Fintech Insider podcast, produced by London-based consultancy 11FS that specializes in digital banking, publishes two episodes per week. This volume is incredible, and definitely not something we see often in the fintech space, giving you plenty to listen to.

Hosts rotate across a team that includes David Brear, Simon Taylor, Kate Moody, and others, all of whom bring real industry experience from advisory work inside financial services institutions.

Each episode tends to cover current fintech news. But the episodes, which range from about 45 minutes to a little more than an hour, give time to allow the news to be covered with a good amount of depth.

Guests have included founders and CEOs of companies like Revolut and Nubank, and other executives from companies like Klarna and M-Pesa, and people involved with regulations from various regions.

What makes this podcast stand out in particular is that, rather than interviewing people about their companies, the hosts often pressure-test ideas and challenge assumptions in ways that produce very honest and informative conversations.

3. Wharton Fintech Podcast

The Wharton Fintech podcast was founded by the first student-led fintech initiative at Wharton Business School. But don’t let that put you off.

The hosts include a good mix of students, investors, and founders in a panel format.

The result has been some very exploratory content, which can actually surface more interesting perspectives.

Hundreds of CEOs, CXOs, VCs, and people involved in regulatory bodies have appeared on the show.

Topics span the full fintech spectrum, rather than a specific niche, but the unique value of the podcast lies in helping you understand what the next generation of fintech entrepreneurs and investors actually think about the industry.

4. Voice of Fintech

Founded by Rudolf Falat, a corporate finance professional based in Zurich with extensive experience in financial services, Voice of Fintech stands out as one of the few on this list that is almost purely targeting Europe.

Most fintech podcasts skew heavily toward the US or UK, which is great, but it does mean that you could be left with blind spots if you want a truly global perspective.

This one dives into the Swiss and broader European ecosystem in ways that larger shows don’t really. And they even have a couple of episodes that target other reasons.

Episodes run shorter, relative to some other fintech podcasts, at around 30-45 minutes, which makes them easier to fit into a busy week and cover a mix of founder interviews and regulatory commentary.

5. London Fintech Podcast

Launched in July 2014, the London Fintech Podcast has accumulated just shy of a million downloads. It’s seen as one of the older and more respected voices in the fintech podcast space.

The podcast features more established and institutional speakers, including Lord Turner, former FSA chair, economist Professor John Kay, and various senior figures from financial services institutions.

If you want information about how the established financial infrastructure thinks about change, this is the show for you.

6. What the Fintech?

Hosted by Paul Hindle, editor of Fintech Futures, one of the more authoritative publications on fintech news, What the Fintech? covers a wider range of fintech topics.

Events include things like financial inclusion, regulatory developments, fintech education, and company interviews.

The podcast is published every two weeks, which means less noise but also less real-time coverage.

7. Around the Coin

If you are dealing with anything that involves crypto, blockchain, and digital payments, Around the Coin deserves a place on your list.

Co-hosts Mike Townsend and Stephen Sargeant have direct experience building and selling startups in the space, which gives the podcast interviews with crypto and blockchain founders a credibility that purely journalistic shows sometimes lack.

Topics span stablecoins, blockchain infrastructure, digital payments, and cross-border payment models, with a variety of notable guests. New episodes come out most Wednesdays.

8. Fintech One on One

Peter Renton, chairman and co-founder of Fintech Nexus, created this weekly show focused on interviewing leading voices who are actively reshaping financial services.

Topics vary a lot, depending on who is being interviewed, and include digital banking, open banking, payments, lending, and what’s next in financial technology regulation.

Each episode is around 30 minutes, but since they center on a single guest, the conversations go deep enough to provide value.

Renton’s experience as a co-founder in the fintech space also means he tends to ask questions that operators care about.

9. Fintech Business Weekly (Fintech Recap)

Co-hosted by Alex Johnson and Jason Mikula, both well-known fintech newsletter writers, Fintech Business Weekly, and specifically the Fintech Recap show, publishes roughly monthly.

Each episode brings a guest who works as an active operator inside the industry, covering fintech futures, Web3 developments, insurtech, and new financial technology applications.

The lower publishing frequency means the show doesn’t fill episodes with commentary on topics that don’t warrant it.

10. Fintech Impact

Host Jason Pereira, a financial planner with over two decades in financial services, interviews fintech entrepreneurs.

The podcast explores the real-world impact of fintech products and the difference between what fintech companies claim, or what they want to do, and what they actually deliver.

While not every interview will be relevant to you, new episodes come out weekly, so it might be worthwhile keeping an eye out to see if anything interesting comes up.

11. Market Like a Fintech

Hosted by Araminta Robertson at the Fintech Marketing Hub, Market Like a Fintech covers marketing and growth strategy for fintech companies.

Guests have included marketing leaders from Nala, Public.com, and Moov, and episodes tend to surface the go-to-market logic behind fintech growth.

How to Choose Which Fintech Podcasts to Actually Listen To

The honest answer is that you probably shouldn’t subscribe to all of the above podcasts.

To make the most of your time, you should probably pick one global fintech podcast for market awareness, one that matches your specific role or industry focus, and maybe another one that covers the specific region you are in, if the others are not already covering the region.

The important thing is to make sure that you are staying up to date with the news you need to. How exactly that is done is up to you.

Conclusion

There are plenty of podcasts out there that provide a wealth of information. But nothing beats having an expert fintech developer on your team.

You can have all the information in the world, but if your developers are creating security vulnerabilities or opportunities for regulatory scrutiny, it’s no use.

That’s where Trio comes in, providing fintech experts who are up to date on everything they need to know to promote your technical success.
