70: 86400, Robert Bell

By Joanne Cousins on 15/02/2021

In Ep70 of the Fintech Australia Podcast Dexter Cousins is joined by Robert Bell CEO of 86400.

86400 is Australia's first smart bank.

Launched in September 2019 with an unrestricted banking license, the smartphone-only bank has been the trailblazer for Aussie neobanks launching home loans, energy switching, joint accounts, and budgeting tools with new feature releases on an almost weekly basis.

Backed by Cuscal and Chaired by Anthony Thomson (founder of Metro and Atom Bank in the UK) 86 400 partners with many Aussie Fintech including Zip, Uno, Data Action. And with the proposed sale to NAB, Tier One People believe this is a landmark day for Australian Fintech innovation.

Prior to 86 400 he held Executive and CEO roles at Cuscal, Australian Unity Bank and ANZ including CEO positions at both ANZ Japan and ANZ Fiji.
