Banking as a Service is real! Afterpay recently announced a landmark partnership with Westpac to provide a deposit account facility to Afterpay customers via the 10x/Westpac BaaS  platform.

It's only six weeks since Lee was last on the show. Since then Afterpay has cemented their place as the jewel in Australia's Fintech crown, by becoming an ASX top 20 company. And hitting new records with $2bn in underlying sales during the month of November!

It has been an incredible year for Nick Molnar, Anthony Eisen and the Afterpay team. Lee talks about 2020 highlights and what we can expect to see in 2021.

Lee also shares her thoughts on leadership and how the events of 2020 have challenged leaders like never before.
