Anne Boden

"I think if you offer good value and you offer a proposition which is innovative, people will migrate to it"

"We all as an industry went into the crisis and came back out and I personally don’t think enough has changed"

"We can do interesting things and why shouldn’t we do it in banking?"

"Starting a bank is not for the faint-hearted. But it’s ever so worthwhile"

"We’re focused on doing one thing and then living in a marketplace of other products"

"“I’ve got this fantastic idea about having a bank that’s built on all new technology, that’s on the side of the customer, that actually offers services very competitively.”"

"I think the most important thing is your health and your family’s health, and then your financial health"

"‘'People at the end of their career write memoirs. I’m at the beginning.’'"

"you’ll have ups and downs in any particular venture, and you have to recover, you have to be resilient. And every single entrepreneur gets a near death experience, and you have to come back from it. It’s all about recovery and resilience and using that for the next phase"

"you can’t do it on your own, you have to do it with lots of different types of people and different sources of knowledge"

"you’ve got to change. People talk about the project and the product iterating and pivoting, but you have to add your own personality and your own learnings have to do that as well. Because as an entrepreneur, as a leader, you are part of the product, you have to think, you have to absorb things and you have to evolve"
