We’re excited to launch the pilot of Couch Talk, our new online format designed to bring the Qorus community closer to real-world innovation projects. Couch Talk is a short, informal, and interactive conversation where members can learn directly from peers about practical solutions and creative approaches in banking. Sessions are live, allow for audience interaction, and are also recorded for our media library, making them a lasting resource for the entire community.

Who's on the Couch?

For this first Couch Talk, Creand will present Vesto – inVESting TOgether, their pioneering project aimed at democratizing investment for young investors. Vesto is transforming retail investing by combining radical simplicity, education, and social engagement.

During the session, Creand will share:

• How they designed Vesto to make investing simple, accessible, and inclusive.
• The challenges they faced in building a compliant, frictionless platform for first-time investors.
• How they integrated financial influencers to turn passive followers into confident investors.
• The results so far, including rapid user growth, high engagement, and the creation of a passionate community.
• Key lessons learned and insights for peers looking to innovate in ESG and retail banking.

This Couch Talk is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the team behind Vesto, explore their practical approach to innovation, and gain inspiration for your own projects in banking.
