In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Brett King. What if, in 50 years, money as we know it no longer exists? Futurist Brett King believes we're heading toward a world where artificial intelligence automates nearly everything from jobs to healthcare to supply chains. As AI disrupts industries at an unprecedented scale, traditional employment may no longer be the main way people earn a living. Universal Basic Income, once a radical idea, may become essential just to keep economies running. But if automation provides food, shelter, and healthcare as a default, will we even need money? Or will wealth become something entirely different? In today's episode of Money Tales, Brett takes us on a journey into the future of money and what it means for all of us. Brett King is an International Bestselling Author, a world- renowned futurist and media personality. President Xi Jinping cited his book Augmented. He has spoken in over 50 countries, given keynotes for TEDx, Wired, Techsauce, Singularity University, Web Summit, The Economist, IBM's World of Watson, CES, SIBOS and more. He has appeared on CNBC, BBC, ABC, Fox, and Bloomberg. He advised the Obama administration on Fintech. King hosts the world's #1 Fintech Radio Show/Podcast called Breaking Banks (180 countries, 6.5 million listeners). He is the founder of Moven, a globally recognized mobile start-up, which has raised over US$40 million to date, and launched the first in-app mobile bank account offered anywhere in the world. Banking Exchange named him the King of the Disruptors, he was nominated as American Banker's Innovator of the Year, voted the world's #1 Financial Services Influencer by The Financial Brand and listed by Bank Innovation as one of the top 10 "coolest brands in banking". King was shortlisted for the Advance Global Australian of the Year for being one of the most influential Australians offshore. His book "Augmented: Life in the Smart Lane", was a top-10 non-fiction book in North America. Bank 4.0 remained a global bestseller in banking more than 12 months after release. "The Rise of Technosocialism", his 7th book was released November 2021.

In the latest episode of "The Bankers' Bookshelf," host Paolo Sironi converses with Brett King, the originator of the Breaking Banks brand, about King's upcoming book "Branch Today, Gone Tomorrow." This book, a refreshed edition of his 2011 release, examines the dramatic reduction in physical bank branches over the past decade, driven by the rise of digital and mobile banking. King discusses the predictions he made in 2011, such as the halving of U.S. bank branches by 2030, which appear to be on track. The conversation explores the global trends in branch closures, highlighting significant decreases in countries like Italy and Germany, while noting exceptions such as India. King emphasizes the shift towards digital banking and the increasing role of AI, predicting that future banking will be largely autonomous. The episode underscores the need for a balanced transition to ensure financial inclusion, particularly in regions with aging populations and limited digital access.

[Transcript below] "Passwords have got to go. As we're moving to passkeys, I think there's always room for improvement on - even on them. If nothing else, focusing a little bit more on the user experience so that people will have a better understanding of what this means." Heather Flanagan, Principal at Spherical Cow Consulting and choreographer for Identity Flash Mob, comes from a position that the Internet is led by people, powered by words, and inspired by technology. She has been involved in leadership roles with some of the most technical, volunteer-driven organisations on the Internet, including IDPro as Principal Editor, the IETF, the IAB, and the IRTF as RFC Series Editor, ICANN as Technical Writer, and REFEDS as Coordinator, just to name a few.

AI - it's the word of the moment.And many credit unions are rushing to familiarize themselves, even to implement pilots internally.Stop right there.Before taking actions, listen to this podcast with Kevin Farley, vice president of experience and engagement at United Heritage Credit Union in Austin TXFarley popped up on my radar screen with a down to earth, practical article on generative AI at the Financial Brand.  His pitch is that credit unions need to approach AI with a crawl, walk, run patience - and probably no credit unions are yet in a position to do brisk running in AI, if only because the necessary tools just aren't ready yet.But there is much useful a credit union can do to get comfortable crawling, then walking with AI.  Farley offers suggestions about areas where tangible benefits of AI are plentiful even in the early days of use.For now most credit unions will satisfy their curiosity playing with the free versions of ChatGPT and Google's Bard - and do note if a month ago you thought Bard was far inferior Google has made vast improvements in that tool.  Do try both.But also know a credit union does not want to load any sensitive or personal data into either free tool.  Don't even think about it.  Farley tells why in the show.We are waiting for the new, improved paid AI tools that will take all this to the next level.They're coming.  Get ready.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

On this episode of Scouting For Growth, Sabine VdL talks to two renowned FinTech Influencers and respected voices in finance and insurance, Danielle Guzman – head of social media at Mercer who is an expert at activating employees and creating business impact on social media, and Theodora Lau - Founder at Unconventional Ventures, author, podcast host and public speaker who advises many startup ventures. KEY TAKEAWAYS Danielle - The future of work is something I'm passionate about, both personally and professionally and the journey over the past years has been about reinventing myself and how to stay relevant in a world that is changing so radically. The pandemic has only accelerated that journey, not just for me but for everyone to be thinking about this a lot more, using social media channels to connect and make a difference. Theo – I spent the bulk of my career in telecom, not finance and banking, don't hold that against me! What's interesting is, when you look at high-tech, telecom, financial service industry, and FinTech and InsurTech startups, a lot of what we do inherently at the end of the day is about people. Technology is a means to an end and allows us to communicate and exchange ideas. As a broader society, we're starting to realize that self-care is actually not self-indulgence. The conversations around mental health and well-being are now becoming what they should be. Health is embedded in every aspect of our lives, but mental health and taking time to invest in our own well-being have always been secondary things. It's critical that now through organizations and leaders that it's becoming a very real and daily conversation at the table. I grew up in a generation where you had a career, and now we're part of a generation where you're having career experiences. There's so much that needs to be done for that to become accessible to everyone, there doesn't seem to be an answer to that right now but organizations are trying to figure that out. That's going to be a watershed moment for the future of work and one of the biggest changes that we will probably see in our lifetime and we're at the beginning of that journey. At the crux of that is the concept of trust.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I like to look at everything as not making big changes all at once, but how we can make small, incremental changes that have a compound return over time.' ‘The past 18 months have shown, we might be in the same storm, but we're not in the same boat. We have been very aware of a lot of the challenges and inequalities that exist in our society, but I hope we take away the learning from recent months that there's a lot we still need to do.' ‘Longevity is a challenge, but it's actually an opportunity. Since the early 1900s we've all gained an extra, healthy 30 living years. Living longer affords us to try different things in our careers.' ‘Are new solutions being created to mimic what we've always had in the past, or are they being created to support these new opportunities? Are there enough solutions out there to support small business owners and gig workers? I would say we need more.' ABOUT THE GUEST As the VP of Social and Distributed Content at Mercer, Danielle uses data to assess the viability of risky campaigns and predict the future of digital content consumption. Since diving head first into the world of insights-driven marketing and leadership, Danielle has seen data transform the careers of dozens of marketers—including her own.

Many organisations say that they are customer-centric. But when you look inside they're far from it. Customers come a distant second to their product or service. And when they do focus on them, they often apply simplistic assumptions about how we think, feel, and behave. Andrea Olson is a behavioural scientist who has studied how to learn what customers need, but don't always tell you. In this podcast find out:★ What stops customers telling you what they want. ★ What it takes to create a customer-centric organisation.★ Whether it's possible to shift from a product to customer organisation.★ How much you can learn from the examples of how Apple and Tesla approach their customers.★ Which of the customer concepts used in management are most flawed.★ Who is an example of an exemplar organisation when it comes to customers.★ What it takes to create an open, trusted relationship with your customers.★ How to integrate strategy, culture, and customers.More about Andrea:Andrea Olson is a differentiation strategist, speaker, author, and customer-centricity expert.

Angela and Regina are co-founders of Women's Personal Finance, a massive community that is a safe space for women to talk about all aspects of how money shows up in women's lives. We talk about monetizing a community like this one, the purpose it serves and being able to lean deeper into the brand mission through intentional monetization. Regina is a pharmacist by background, Coast FI and is not really working as a pharmacist anymore. They both shifted Women's Personal Finance into becoming a business entity about 13 months ago. The ladies have been friends for quite a few years. Regina shares how she got into the personal finance space via Twitter. She wasn't blogging but wanted spaces that gave her the opportunity to talk about money. She purchased a property in her 20's and her financial trajectory was unique and she wanted to connect with other people that had a similar experience. She wanted to create a place where she could share more content (rants) 2017 Angela remembers the details. Regina kept her blog anonymous which would allow her to speak freely about her interests and connected with Angela when she reached out to write a post on “Prepper FI” on Angela's website. Angela was a lurker in the personal finance community for YEARS. Was a completely passive consumer of that content. She decided to start blogging after joining Twitter. Meet the Women of the Personal Finance Community Post that went viral. Decided that Women's Personal Finance be an inclusive space and not niche down to only being a FIRE group. I ask why Angela and Regina were the ones to create this community? They didn't need a list but an actual community What surprised them about creating an online community (I disclose that I'm a member of the community) No longer letting things “happen” in the group and have become protective of the group. Surprising realization that the group isn't for everyone. Initially it was uncomfortable to do but now it's clear that it's a part of how they protect women in their space. Could you talk about the tensions that have arisen as you've monetized this project? Regina talked Angela into monetizing the project Why was Angela reticent about monetizing the community? There were things not showing up in the Facebook feed and Angela was sent to Facebook jail because of saying “Smelly potato” and they can't rely on Facebook They decided to add a premium community and this leaned into their community building and advocacy work offline. They wanted to really make a community that wasn't ABOUT them vs. the community Neither Regina or Angela have added content onto their website and focus on elevating other people with their platform. I note that Women's Personal Finance, Elevate Community and Plutus Foundation When you began selling products what was the response like? They definitely got pushback about the products. The first thing they monetized was paying the moderator using Ko-Fi and realized that there was something “here” with the community though Angela has had to work through the tension of getting paid for a passion project. I share why I rebranded my project to “Michelle is Money Hungry” and how someone was offended by the name and I wanted to have a conversation about money There is a lot of work that goes into content creation. If we're not getting paid what are we modeling to our communities and the people that we serve? They found that higher earners who don't want people to earn money and are unlikely to pay for what they're producing. 52,000 members in the group and a ton of moderation work, ego and emotion Paying writers and speakers-a focus on compensating people for their work as soon as money is available “Paying Women for their Work” The first year they made $50,000 I ask about grants, they do have a Plutus Grant What have been the most impactful conversations that they've seen in the group Angela makes the point of how Facebook makes money off of the groups that are hosted on the platform. I ask about the initiatives that they've undertaken in the group A focus on women's reproductive health-The ladies set up a reproductive health fund Gifting memberships-Annual members vs. a free month The conversations in the Women's Personal Finance group move me on an emotional level. I love seeing the uniquely specific financial conversations about women's money. What does the future look like? Where is the premium community currently hosted? Discord I circle back and ask about why Twitter worked so well for them? They share how. Content creator connections happened via Twitter For more information, visit the show notes at https://plutusfoundation.org/2022/angela-regina-mission-driven-brand

Irrelevance beckons. And it will swallow many credit unions whole.That is the message delivered by Andre Iervolino, a longtime credit union senior staffer who wrote a provocative piece in The Financial Brand entitled "10 Factors That Will Determine Banks' Future Relevance."Reading is article will rock you because, frankly, he is not optimistic about the future of many credit unions.A core reason is that, often, they just don't get that technology is rewriting the game book.  What mattered 25 years ago does not count today.In this podcast we explore the key takeaways of the article and the first is that the nature of a primary financial institution has changed and, said Iervolino, "Community financial institutions no longer compete only against the large banks within their marketplace, but also with big tech (Apple, Amazon, Google Checking, PayPal), fintechs, and neobank/mobile banks such as Chime, SoFi and Ally."He added: "On average, financial services customers have between five and eight relationships spread across multiple institutions, many of them not traditional banking providers."How do you compete against that complexity?His second takeaway is remapping the future of the branch - think small footprint, cashless, staffed by Apple type geniuses and, yes, he tells how you will hire them. Hint: it involves paying a lot of money.Next he throws the FICO score under the bus and proposes that credit unions adopt what he calls a Financial Health Score.Along the way Iervolino offers key survival advice: Act like a startup.Prepare to be challenged.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

The Digital Banking Report Research by The Financial Brand shows that Customer Experience is the number 2 priority (just after digital transformation) for financial institution around the globe. New entrants and changing customer expectations have fuelled this need for a greater focus on customer led design.

The first two questions we ask a prospective customer are: Do you feel like you can trust this institution? How does what you're looking at on the website make you feel?

Bank Transfer Day 2020, Bigger and Better?By Robert McGarveyYou remember Bank Transfer day, that 2011 movement that brought in perhaps one million new credit union members, possibly more.Something a lot bigger may be about to happen.That's the opinion of Steve Bruyn, CEO of Foresight Research who, writing in The Financial Brand, said that its extensive polling had found nearly a doubling of the number of consumers who say they intend to change financial institutions. Now 22% say they are heading to the exit of their present financial institution, per Foresight Research.  Foresight Research elaborated: “We have surveyed almost 11,000 banking customers and credit union members in 44 markets to find out what is really going on in the world of banking from the customer/member's point of view.  Then we added another survey of almost 700 customers and members to find out what the pandemic had changed in the banking industry.  We found a hot spot of churn.  Churn increased from 12% (over two years) to 22% expected churn in the next year or two.”Hear the Bruyn podcast here.The news gets sweeter still: “Of the people who intend to leave their financial institution almost 3 out of 4 are Gen Z or Millennials - the very block of business that drives the future of your financial institution,” said Foresight Research.Foresight Research added: “So, what drove the high churn?  Even though satisfaction declined greatly (except at credit unions) that was not the culprit.  Customers and members were generally empathetic, likely thinking ‘we are all in this together'. It was all about financial issues like interest rates and fees.  The switchers while forgiving also are looking to reduce cost or increase interest on items like money market accounts, CDs, etc.”This makes sense. The economy is the worst it has been since the Great Depression. Millions of us are unemployed and millions more are underemployed (working fewer hours).  It's tough to balance the household budget when less money is coming in so a shrewd step is to slash unnecessary outgo.Bank fees are prime to be trimmed. And that is a potential bonanza for credit unions.Ask yourself this: where can credit unions beat banks, consistently?  The answer is and has long been on pricing of everything, from account fees to NSF fees and loan interest rates.  Credit unions are member owned, they have no shareholders who demand dividends.  Most have unpaid boards of directors.  Most pay their employees fairly but rarely lavishly - and here's a CNN round up of bank c-suite compensation and note that the CEO of Bank of America had total compensation of $24.8 million but he was by no means the highest paid in the group.Big salaries, big dividends to shareholders, and bloated, inefficient branch networks add up to huge expenses on the books and that means customers have to pay through the nose for the privilege of having a bank account.Ac

In 2014, BankMobile was launched as a division of Customers Bank. As opposed to relying only on organic growth, BankMobile quickly grew with a B2B2C strategy, acquiring college student checking platform HigherOne. They also used a white-label strategy with telecom disruptor Sprint Mobile. Recently, BankMobile was re-positioned as part of a separate technology platform available to smaller banking organizations hoping to jump-start their digital banking offerings. The digital bank also announced a partnership with Google to offer their account within the GooglePay app. We are very fortunate to have Jay and Luvleen Sidhu, co-founders of BankMobile on the show. This highly innovative father/daugher combo have been covered by, and contributed to, The Financial Brand and the Financial Brand Forum through the years. They discuss the recent moves by BankMobile and the underlying strategy that has made this evolutionary digital bank a success.

Financial brand marketers. Take note! This episode of The 4 am Report is for you. Things are changing right now in the traditionally slow-to-change financial industry. Many big brands are undergoing major re-brands as they try to figure out this new 2020 investor. Wendy Brookhouse is an independent financial advisor, and she's tired of seeing financial brands missing the opportunity to step up their understanding of the modern investor that's very different than the investors of yore.  "It's time to come up with something other than a couple on the beach in a sailboat, or on the golf course, to show financial freedom. I mean, if you can't do that, you really should go get another job!” And that's just the beginning!
