Tom Pincince
In 2018, Tom co-founded Till Financial to tackle the financial literacy crisis by putting kids into the game with their own debit and save accounts.

In 2026, Till was acquired by Western and Southern as “a significant strategic investment and marks a defining step in the company’s expansion into digital family banking solutions”.
