How much do crowd-funding, electronic currencies, peer-to-peer and other forms of FinTech lending, threaten to disrupt the traditional banking model? Simon Jack, reports live from London's FinTech hub, Level39 and speaks to the founder of London car parking app JustPark, the head of hi-tech wealth management firm Nutmeg Investment, and Giles Andrews of pioneering peer-to-peer lender Zopa.
