Grab is a Southeast Asian super-app that allows users to order food deliveries, hail a ride, pay for daily purchases, invest in the stock market, take out insurance for life’ s necessities, and even book a hotel room. No wonder, then, that the all-encompassing fintech describes itself as‘ the everyday everything app’. But while some tech entrepreneurs can merely dream of building a successful super-app, Grab has done it already; the platform is used by millions of consumers every day with a presence in 13 different markets, mostly in South and Southeast Asia. Grab is headquartered in Singapore and is led by former Harvard Business School graduate Anthony Tan as Co-Founder and CEO.

Sometimes described as the original fintech owing to the fact it was founded in 1994, Capital One says of itself,“ We’ re a bank, but we don’ t think like one”. More than 25 years ago, Capital One revolutionised the credit card industry with data and technology and today it is one of the largest retail banks in the US, serving more than 100m customers and employing around 50,000 people globally. It claims to have been“ founded on the belief that no one should be locked out of the financial system”, so ESG remains an important component of what it does. It continues to evolve, too, in June announcing the acquisition of digital concierge company Velocity Black to better serve customers in the travel, entertainment, shopping and dining verticals.
