Do we want banking to be spicy or boring?

What are the real problems that real people are facing, and what is the financial services industry doing about it? Barb, Mary, and Theo reunited for a new episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse! where we asked the rhetorical question of: “Do banks feel like the only way to compete is to put on a hoodie and pretend to be a startup?” Should we just put a .ai on everything? Perhaps time to consider Fintech Fuse dot AI? All jokes aside, do check out startups such as Debbie — a fintech that rewards consumers for saving and paying off debt, and “Send Now, Pay Later” fintech Pomelo — a remittance product on credit card rails. And don’t miss Mary’s new podcast: Money isn’t everything. Till next time … heed Barb’s advice: “Think about your fundamentals first. Get to your fancy stuff later.” Hosted on Acast.
