Podcasts about fintechs

Convidados: César Tralli, apresentador da Globo e da GloboNews, e Bruno Tavares, repórter da Globo. Em agosto de 2025, a megaoperação Carbono Oculto expôs um esquema complexo que envolve a facção criminosa PCC, o setor de combustíveis e o coração do sistema financeiro brasileiro: a Faria Lima. A investigação mostrou como o PCC infiltra agentes em fintechs e fundos de investimento para esconder o dinheiro sujo do crime organizado. Segundo a receita federal, R$ 52 bilhões foram movimentados em quatro anos. Foi a partir dessa operação que novas camadas do crime organizado começaram a ser desvendadas, revelando uma rede ainda mais profunda e sofisticada. Nesta sexta-feira, 26 de dezembro, O Assunto reprisa o episódio mais ouvido do ano. “Fintechs viraram um buraco negro”, resume César Tralli em conversa com Natuza Nery neste episódio. Apresentador da Globo, 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.

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast, where we explore financial services together with an eye on technology, innovation, emerging models, and changing expectations. I'm Tearsheet's editor in chief, Zack Miller. For fintechs, cracking the credit union market is notoriously difficult. It's relationship-based, insular, and requires a fundamentally different approach than banking. Many try and fail. But when done right, it opens up distribution to institutions serving over 140 million Americans. Today I'm joined by Brian Kaas, president and managing director of TruStage Ventures, the corporate VC arm of TruStage—a $5.5 billion annual revenue insurer that works with 92% of credit unions nationwide. Since 2016, TruStage Ventures has deployed $400 million across 50 portfolio companies and facilitated over 3,000 partnerships between credit unions and fintechs. We first spoke with Brian in 2021 when the fund was just gaining traction. Four years later, the portfolio has matured with companies like Ethos, Current, and SmartAsset, and Brian's team has become essential connective tissue between innovative fintechs and credit union distribution. We'll dig into what makes credit union partnerships different, why so many fintechs struggle to break in, and why stablecoin solutions have become the number one request Brian's hearing from credit union CEOs.

What does it really take to build a fintech company that quietly fixes one of the most frustrating problems SMEs face every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Pierre-Antoine Dusoulier, the Founder and CEO of iBanFirst, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, timing, and why cross-border payments have remained broken for so long.  Pierre-Antoine's story begins in London, where his early career as an FX trader felt like a compromise at the time, yet quietly gave him a front-row seat to inefficiencies most people accepted as normal. That experience would later shape two companies and a very clear point of view on how money should move across borders. Pierre-Antoine walks through his first venture, Combeast.com, one of France's earliest FX brokerages for retail investors, and what he learned from selling it to Saxo Bank and staying on to run Western European operations. That chapter matters, because it exposed the gap between how sophisticated FX markets really are and how poorly SMEs are served when FX and payments are bundled together inside traditional banks. Out of that frustration, IbanFirst was born in 2016 with a simple idea: treat cross-border payments as a specialist discipline, not a side feature. Today, IbanFirst serves more than 10,000 clients across Europe and processes over €2 billion in transactions every month. We dig into why growth has continued while many fintechs have slowed, from a product designed to be used daily, to proactive sales, to a new generation of CFOs and CEOs who expect the same clarity and speed at work that they get from consumer fintech tools.  Pierre-Antoine explains how real-time FX rates, payment tracking using SWIFT GPI, and multi-entity account management change the day-to-day reality for SMEs trading internationally. We also talk about Brexit, and how being rooted in continental Europe created an unexpected opening. Pierre-Antoine shares why expanding into the UK, including the acquisition of Cornhill, made sense, and why London's payments ecosystem still stands apart in scale and depth. Along the way, he is refreshingly open about the heavy investment required in compliance, trust, and regulation, and why nearly a third of IbanFirst's team focuses on operations and oversight. Looking ahead, Pierre-Antoine lays out a bold vision for the SME payments market, predicting a future where specialists replace banks in much the same way fintech reshaped consumer money transfers. As cross-border trade grows and currency volatility becomes a daily concern, his perspective raises an interesting question for anyone running an international business today:  if specialists already exist, why keep relying on systems that were never designed for how SMEs actually operate?

In einer Welt, in der finanzielle Unsicherheit viele Menschen zunehmend belastet, gewinnen Konzepte wie Behavioral Banking und Agentic AI an Relevanz. Banken und FinTechs stehen vor der Herausforderung, nicht nur innovative Produkte zu entwickeln, sondern auch das finanzielle Wohl ihrer Kund:innen aktiv zu fördern – und dabei gleichzeitig regulatorischen Anforderungen wie der EU KI-Verordnung gerecht zu werden.  Doch was versteht man eigentlich unter Behavioral Finance? Was bedeutet die Individualisierung von Finanzprodukten für die Branche? Und welche Rolle kann Agentic AI dabei spielen? Um diese und weitere spannende Aspekte zu beleuchten, haben wir Fabian Mohr, Gründer & CEO bei UnitPlus, und Wiebke Reinhart, Senior Solutions Manager bei SAP Fioneer, eingeladen. Beide bringen unterschiedliche Perspektiven und Erfahrungen mit, wie sich das Zusammenspiel von Behavioral Finance/ Financial Wellbeing  und Agentic AI im Banking und Finanzwesen erfolgreich gestalten lässt. Gemeinsam zeigen wir, wie diese neuen Ansätze das Finanzwesen verändern – mit aktuellen Trends und praktischen Beispielen.

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.

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.
