Discovery Bank CEO Hylton Kallner believes technology is fundamental to the company’s success. 
Kallner, an actuary who joined Discovery in its early days as a medical insurance company and who has held various senior leadership roles over the years, tells TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod about the group’s decision to launch a bank when it did. He shares how the business is doing – spoiler: it’s trending well ahead of schedule – and what comes next. 
He tells the TechCentral Show about: 
•	How Discovery Bank is doing financially and how it’s tracking against its business plan; 
•	Its client base – who they are and who the bank is targeting as its clientele (the answer may surprise you); 
•	Why Discovery launched a bank into what was already a competitive market and what it’s doing differently to its rivals to attract people to switch; 
•	The learnings from Discovery Health and Discovery Vitality, and how Discovery Bank has leveraged these in its products and services; 
•	Discovery Bank’s technology stack, why it chose the IT solutions it did, and why it built much of its banking solution in-house; 
•	What’s next from Discovery Bank in terms of solutions; and 
•	The bank’s plans with AI – and why it believes AI could be a gamechanger. 
Lastly, Kallner, a prolific reader, shares two of his favourite non-fiction books with the TechCentral audience.
