The biggest office flex in London today? It’s happening at Revolut’s HQ. And here’s the plot twist: Just days after my update on Visa’s big move to Canary Wharf, another heavyweight is joining the Docklands revival: Deutsche Bank is set to take ~250,000 sq ft in the same building where Revolut occupies the top floors, roughly double Revolut’s footprint. And yes, that means Deutsche could soon place its own logo on one side of a tower currently dominated by Revolut’s branding. A perfect snapshot of 2025’s FinTech–Bank crossover era 😉

Too much attention makes a donkey think he’s a lion

A logo or color scheme won’t make a bank stand out. Personalized experiences, proactive offers, and insights delivered at the right time are what create lasting customer loyalty.

You don’t need infinite compute to create infinite possibility. Everyone says you need billions in capex to hit frontier quality. Cool story. LTX used a lean team, shipped LTX-2, and landed shoulder-to-shoulder with the giants. It also broke the “only scale wins” myth.

Days of November, still all the same ❄️ #poem #TFL #London #November #ShortDays

Not sure who needs to hear this but “probably fine” is not a compliance strategy

Nothing drains a high performer faster than realising their reward for excellence is cleaning up someone else's incompetence.

Not sure who needs to hear this but you will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.

Revolut isn’t just expanding… it’s collecting licenses like trophies.

You never know how heavy the weight others are carrying. Choose compassion even if judgement feels easier 💜

Well @HSBC_UK, I guess “all services down” is the new normal… Called customer service..they confirmed they’re dealing with the issue. Money? Can’t see it. 😬 #FinTech #FinFail #BankingOnNothing

Anytime someone throws a Great Gatsby themed party, I have to assume they never finished the book.

@asda I had an incident in one of your stores today where a sharp metal hazard ripped my shoe. Luckily I wasn’t injured, but the manager advised me to report. Please advise how I can formally do this online.

The best organizations don’t choose between tech and relationships. They build smart strategies that do both. Innovation works best when it strengthens human connection.
