Andreas Bodczek ist CEO von IDnow, dem größten deutschen Anbieter für Identitätschecks. Das Münchner Start-up übernimmt für Finanzfirmen wie N26, Commerzbank oder Klarna den Türsteherdienst: Es kontrolliert den Ausweis von jedem, der online Kunde werden will – und siebt Täuschungsversuche aus. Mit der Verbreitung Künstlicher Intelligenz wird dieser Job jedoch zunehmend anspruchsvoller. Im Podcast erklärt Bodczek, wie IDnow gegen neue Betrugsmaschen vorgeht, was der europäische Digitalausweis „EUDI‑Wallet“ für Bürger und Fintechs bedeutet und wie er Sam Altmans Iris‑Scan‑Projekt World bewertet.

In today's episode we talk with the new CEO of Northfield Savings Bank in Vermont, Joe Bator. We discussed various sales strategies, including what works well for his institution and any crossover insights from other industries. Joe's background is a unique blend of experience at both large institutions and startup banks, each with successful growth roadmaps. It was insightful to hear how he's applying some of those proven methods to the community banking space today. Sales is often a copycat game—when something works, it's worth considering how to adapt and apply those successful tactics.Send us a textPresented by Remedy ConsultingFor more information on BankTalk:BankTalk WebsiteSubscribe to BankTalk NewsRemedy Consulting WebsiteRemedy LinkedInTo speak on the BankTalk Podcast, please email us.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta terça-feira (04/11/2025): Duas décadas depois de o PCC ter promovido um sangrento acerto de contas que expulsou o Comando Vermelho (CV) do Estado, a facção fluminense voltou a colocar SP no seu plano de expansão. O MPE e as Polícias Civil e Federal detectaram a presença do CV na região de Americana, Santa Bárbara d’Oeste, Araras e Rio Claro, áreas onde o PCC não mais atua. Ação de criminosos ligados ao CV também foi constatada em São José dos Campos, Ubatuba e Caraguatatuba. Essa expansão teria como uma das causas o fato de o PCC estar abandonando o tráfico local de drogas para se dedicar ao tráfico internacional e ao setor de combustíveis. E mais: Metrópole: Castro diz a Moraes que ação contra o CV seguiu regras pedidas pelo STF Política: CPI do INSS não decola e vai dividir holofotes com a do Crime Organizado Economia: ‘Rei do gás’ tem revés, mas emplaca benefício na MP do setor elétrico Esportes: Ancelotti chama sete jogadores ‘caseiros’; Neymar segue fora Cultura: Lô Borges morreu após intoxicação por medicamentosSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian shares his experience founding TruStage Ventures and the work he and his team have done in the past decade bridging the gap between FinTech founders, credit unions, and the broader financial services industry culminating in $400 million in investments since 2016.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we bring you the top stories shaping the world of startups and tech. Dream11 expands to 11 international markets after its free-to-play model pivot, WazirX faces a new legal storm after its $230 million hack, Z47 doubles down on AI-first fintechs reimagining credit and lending, and Amazon plans to cut about 14,000 corporate jobs amid its AI overhaul.

The episode explores a critical shift reshaping the banking industry. Traditional banks often operate on an Inside-Out model, prioritizing internal systems and products while treating customer experience as an afterthought. Meanwhile, Digital-First banks and Fintechs embrace an Outside-In approach, starting with a clear brand proposition and exceptional customer experience, then building the technology and products to support it.We break down how these two models impact strategy, technology, product development, and customer relationships — and why traditional banks face a steep challenge if they want to survive in a customer-driven market.Find out:- How banks can flip their operational logic to become truly customer-centric- The key differences between inside-out and outside-in models across strategy, tech, and product- The hurdles traditional banks must overcome to modernize legacy systems and cultureRead the full article on UXDA's blog: https://theuxda.com/blog/customers-flip-banking-upside-down-leaving-inside-out-banks-under-siege* AI podcast on UXDA article powered by Google NotebookLM

Today's podcast features the second part of a repurposed webinar produced on September 3, 2025, which dives into the legal risks, compliance challenges, and emerging constitutional questions stemming from the GENIUS Act. The conversation examines the strict prohibition of deceptive claims regarding federal backing or insurance for stablecoins, highlighting the significant civil liabilities and penalty provisions attached to violations. Art Wilmarth delves deeply into areas such as federal preemption of state laws, consumer protections, and the power dynamics introduced by big tech and non-bank entities in the stablecoin market. Richard Rosenthal outlines the importance of building cross-functional teams, updating risk taxonomies, and adapting existing safety and soundness frameworks to the new environment presented by stablecoins. Peter Jaslow highlights legal risks for stablecoin issuers, such as the lack of explicit federal insurance, the reliance on monthly attestations of reserves, complex issues surrounding redemption policies, and significant civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance. The speakers articulate the importance of rigorous compliance frameworks and the critical role finance teams will play in adapting to the new regulatory demands. Additionally, there is emphasis on the GENIUS Act's consumer protection priorities and its alignment with administration policy objectives. This episode also explores the business model impact of the GENIUS Act, discussing the growing demand for stablecoin and tokenized deposit solutions, and how institutions might leverage these technologies for treasury management and cross-border payments. Panelists provide perspectives on how innovation is being fostered, the implications for privately-held stablecoins, and the ways the GENIUS Act reflects the desires of the crypto industry. This session offers a holistic look at both the challenges and opportunities that financial institutions must consider as regulatory and market landscapes evolve. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

Today's podcast features the first part of a recent webinar produced on September 3, 2025, which examined the key provisions of the GENIUS Act (“The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act”) and its regulatory impact on banks, fintechs and the future of stablecoins. The discussion covers critical definitions, licensing, oversight and enforcement requirements, the relationship to state stablecoin laws. Panelists offer insights into the role of federal banking regulators such as the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”), highlighting the Act's efforts to establish a uniform regulatory framework and how financial institutions are responding to the new rules.

No 3 em 1 desta quinta-feira (09), o destaque foi a revelação do presidente Lula (PT) de que o secretário de Estado americano, Marco Rubio, telefonou para o ministro das Relações Exteriores, Mauro Vieira.

Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano. Após o Congresso rejeitar a Medida Provisória do IOF, o presidente Lula voltou a defender o aumento de impostos para fintechs.

Tem um novo malware atacando e já roubou dados de até 5,5 milhões de usuários de navegadores no Windows e o alvo principal é o Discord.

Die Gründerin und CEO von Beatvest spricht über über die Mission des Fintechs und warum Kooperationen so wichtig sind.

Das vielleicht Beste an der Position von Stephan Schrameier ist, dass er eigentlich nur gewinnen kann. Während der Rest der Branche von Rekordgewinn zu Rekordgewinn eilt, schlitterte die M.M. Warburg – also die Hamburger Privatbank, der Schrameier seit Ende 2022 vorsteht – in den vergangenen Jahren von einer Verlegenheit in die nächste. Den Cum-Ex-Skandal glaubt das Institut zwar mittlerweile abgeschüttelt zu haben. Die GuV indessen knarzt wie eh und je, im vergangenen Jahr betrug die Aufwandsquote mal wieder adipöse 112%. Der Ausweg? Radikal restrukturieren! Das zumindest ist die Medikation, die Schrameier seiner Bank verordnet hat. Das Kapitalmarktgeschäft wird mehr oder weniger komplett abgewickelt, insgesamt stehen mehr als 150 Vollzeitstellen zur Disposition. Und als wäre all das noch nicht genug, muss auch noch das Kernbankensystem gewechselt werden, ein Manöver, das ein anderer Podcast-Gast (er hier) mal als „Herztransplantation“ beschrieben hat, „während man auf dem Laufband joggt“. Kurz gesagt: Schrameier befindet sich also gerade auf fast unmöglicher Mission. Wird das also überhaupt noch mal was mit M.M. Warburg? Und wie will der Manager das Traditionshaus positionieren in einer Zeit, in welcher der Konkurrenzdruck im Private Banking von wirklich allen Seiten (die Großbanken, die US-Banken, die Liechtensteiner, die Verbünde, die Fintechs …) zunimmt?

In a world increasingly dominated by software and automation, how vital are human relationships in banking and finance? In this episode, CJ sits down with Meghan McKenna, founder of Females in Finance (FIF) and a seasoned banker with experience at JPMorgan, HSBC, and Stifel, to explore how trusted connections continue to drive success. As a community builder and banker, Meghan has a unique perspective on the intersection of human connection and capital markets. She explains the philosophy behind her community, which is based on generosity and genuine connection rather than a transactional mindset, and how this has become her competitive advantage. The conversation also covers sales as an essential leadership skill, the rise of the modular banking stack, changes in private credit, the evolving ERP landscape, how a personal touch proved invaluable during the SVB crisis, and career lessons Meghan learned along the way.—LINKS:Meghan McKenna on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghan-curtin-mckenna-%F0%9F%94%A5-66a5022b/FIF Collective: https://www.fifcollective.comMeghan McKenna email: meghan@fifcollective.coCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Venture Debt for Growth With Ruslan Sergeyev of Hercules Capital — The One Use Case for Venture Debt That Most Founders Never Think About — —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:30) Sponsor – RightRev | Navan | Rillet(06:41) Connecting People as a Skill(08:03) Sales as an Essential Leadership Skill(12:07) The Power of In-Person Community & Events(14:39) FIF's Ideal Customer Profile(15:42) Sponsor – Pulley | Brex | Aleph(20:05) The Evolution of the Banking Ecosystem(22:00) Modular Banking Stacks and Fintech Challengers(24:37) The Rise of Private Credit(27:32) Banks Adapting to Companies That Stay Private Longer(30:06) Fintechs vs. Traditional Banks(31:54) Current Trends in AI and ERP in Finance(35:07) Importance of Human Relationships When Software Fails(36:09) Reflecting on the SVB Bank Run & Facing New Risks in Tech(37:59) Building a Personal Brand in Finance(39:42) Community Spirit, Giving Back, & Sharing Your Network(43:25) Meghan's Early Career and Mentors(46:15) Long-Ass Lightning Round: Staying Too Long in a Role(47:49) Advice to Younger Self(48:24) A Memorable Deal & Client Story(50:07) Wrap—SPONSORS:RightRev automates the revenue recognition process from end to end, gives you real-time insights, and ensures ASC 606 / IFRS 15 compliance—all while closing books faster.

Falo sobre a megaoperação da PF, Receita Federal e MP-SP que mostram como empresas (FINTECHS) da "Faria Lima" estaria sendo usadas para lavar, ocultar e/ou blindar dinheiro do PCC com narcotráfico e de combustíveis. Discuto como está equivocada a ênfase que, até então, predomina, de se combater as drogas mirando-se nas favelas e também  como "fake news" sobre o PIX ajudaram a manter o esquema.

Convidados: César Tralli, apresentador da Globo e da GloboNews, e Bruno Tavares, repórter da Globo. Batizada de Carbono Oculto, a megaoperação desta quinta-feira (28) mostrou a atuação do grupo criminoso PCC em um complexo esquema que envolve o setor de combustíveis e instituições da Faria Lima, principal polo financeiro do país. Considerada a maior operação contra o crime da história do país, a investigação expôs como facções criminosas invadiram os postos de gasolina e penetraram no sistema financeiro. Segundo as investigações, o grupo criminoso usou agentes infiltrados em fintechs e fundos de investimentos para que o dinheiro do crime não fosse rastreado. A Receita Federal afirma que os criminosos movimentaram R$ 52 bilhões nos últimos 4 anos por meio das fintechs, empresas que usam a tecnologia para oferecer serviços financeiros de forma mais simples e rápida que bancos tradicionais – e com quase nenhuma fiscalização do setor público. “Fintechs viraram um buraco negro”, resume César Tralli em conversa com Natuza Nery neste episódio. Apresentador da Globo e da GloboNews, Tralli relata o que ouviu de investigadores e conta como a investigação contra o crime organizado chegou ao coração financeiro do país. Antes, Natuza conversa com Bruno Tavares, repórter da Globo que primeiro revelou a megaoperação contra o PCC. Ele explica como essa investigação nasceu e responde por que o setor de combustíveis é tão atrativo para a prática de crimes.

From humble beginnings as a mathematics student in India to overseeing Citi's payments operations across 94 countries, Debopama Sen's 29-year journey offers valuable lessons for aspiring leaders. Her perspective on leadership is refreshingly practical: find the signal amidst the noise, articulate a clear strategic vision, and focus on helping your team excel. "It shouldn't be about the leader," she emphasizes, noting that in today's AI-driven landscape, the competitive edge comes from developing adaptability, critical thinking, empathy, and collaboration rather than just accumulating knowledge.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Debo discusses the inevitable shift toward real-time, 24/7/365 payment systems. This isn't merely a trend but a fundamental transformation that businesses must embrace to remain competitive. As she points out, even if your current business model doesn't demand instantaneous transactions, your customers, suppliers, or partners will eventually pull you in that direction. Citi has positioned itself at the forefront of this evolution with innovations like real-time liquidity solutions and 24/7 dollar clearing.Perhaps most inspiringly, Debo shares wisdom on mentorship and using your voice as a female leader. "You have a voice and therefore you have a responsibility to use it," she advises younger women in the industry. She encourages professionals to proactively seek mentors beyond formal corporate programs, noting that most leaders are eager to give back. Her collaborative approach to leadership - viewing partnerships between traditional institutions and Fintechs as opportunities where "one plus one makes five" - exemplifies how diverse leadership styles can drive innovation in payments.Join us for this thought-provoking conversation about redefining leadership through influence, impact, and innovation in the evolving payments landscape.
