Settled Up: “I do tend to get very obsessive when I hear an album I really like”, Claire Gates, Crown Agents Bank 

Settled Up: Claire Gates - Crown Agents Bank

Welcome to Settled Up, the Payment Expert podcast series. This week, Claire Gates, Global Head of Payments and Solutions at Crown Agents Bank, spoke to Payment Expert News Editor Louis Thompsett on her past and current music tastes, and which TV series has her in stitches.


What song do you put on before a big day, and what does it do for you?

Love Generation edit by Jon Mancini – lifts me and gets me in the right frame of mind to achieve anything. It’s the first song I play when running a marathon.

What album can you play start to finish, no skips?

Currently it is People Watching by Sam Fender. I do tend to get very obsessive when I hear an album I really like, it’s on repeat for months on end.

What’s the film or box set you’ll happily rewatch forever?

The film would be Pulp Fiction, never get tired of it, so many nuances to every scene. However, I just love Modern Family – impressive how the series continues to entertain and honestly, I get stitches from laughing so much.

What’s the book you press on everyone you meet?

Hard one as everyone has such different tastes so would never say  

What’s the sporting moment you still go back and rewatch?

None really, I’m not a great fan of sporting moments.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen – a sketch, a clip, a stand-up routine?

Has to be the clip from Friday night dinners Running in Sheila in the Chinese.
