In a brief interview, Mambu co‑founder Justus Roux outlines how he would design a bank from scratch, emphasizing that the venture must start with trust and a deep understanding of modern customers’ expectations. Roux argues that the traditional brick‑and‑mortar model is obsolete; consumers now expect 24/7, borderless access and the ability to bank from any device. To meet that demand, the core technology stack must be scalable, future‑proof, and capable of rapid product iteration. He notes, “No‑one banking hours is a thing of the past,” and questions whether the new entity should even call itself a bank or simply act as a technology provider delivering financial services. The implication for incumbents and fintech startups alike is clear: success will depend on building trust, leveraging adaptable tech platforms, and continuously refreshing product offerings to stay relevant in an increasingly digital financial landscape.
