Wio Bank has become one of the fastest Neo-Banks globally to achieve profitability. In its first full year of operations, Wio reported a revenue of AED 266.4 million and a net profit of AED 2 million. Wio has over 50,000 Wio Business and 40,000 Wio Personal customers… and in today’s episode we go through the How they achieved such amazing success!

I speak with Prakash Sunkara, Chief Financial Officer at Wio Bank - and I have to say he’s a CFO that sounds like a CPO! He is absolutely super customer centric!

We discuss Wio’s story, their mindset and how that sets them apart, what’s the definition of innovation - in the eyes of Jayesh Patel, Wio’s CEO; and ways of working to bring it to life, the how they reached profitability, what happens once they hit month one of profitability, and finally we put Prakash in the hot seat with some fire side questions!

It’s a fascinating conversation!

Prakash has a long career in Financial Services and as a CFO - across both traditional financial services and FinTechs. Wio Bank is disrupting banking for consumers and small businesses in the UAE and has created an all-in-one digital financial platform to reboot banking for everyone!
