The Bank Tellers Episode 26: Jonas Eichhorst, CEO of Timo Vietnam
Where to listen
Jonas Eichhorst, CEO of Timo Vietnam, joins The Bank Tellers to talk about what it takes to grow a digital bank in one of Asia’s most dynamic markets. With a background in both hardcore engineering and business strategy, Jonas brings a sharp, systems-driven perspective to building tech that feels personal.
He shares Timo’s journey from Vietnam’s first fee-free banking app to a transaction-driven platform serving high-earning, high-frequency users.
He and Money20/20's VP, Fintech Strategy, Zach Anderson Pettet, dive into why building for both the underbanked and mass affluent isn't a contradiction.
Plus, hear how Timo’s long game is to humanize digital banking, not replace people with bots, and why the next fintech edge might come from anthropology, not algorithms.
