“It’s about bringing in those little nudges, those little ways of being able to help you to be better informed.”
Richard Allan is the company’s head of UK public policy.

“A number of you will ask us for more and more control, so we build more and more controls. And then they feel it’s got more complicated.
“Then we simplify it again and they say I haven’t got enough control.”
