Gil Santos is Lead Quant at Credora, and Marcin Kazmierczak is CoFounder of RedStone, which recently acquired Credora.We dig into why DeFi desperately needs credit ratings, how Credora is building them, and why this is the missing piece for institutional capital to flow onchain. Gil explains the problem: DeFi has transparency of transactions but opacity when it comes to risk. You can see every trade onchain, but you can't tell if a Morpho vault is genuinely safer than another. Credora is building the Moody's and S&P for DeFi—real-time, dynamic risk ratings that update as market conditions change.In this episode, we cover:+ Why DeFi needs a ratings protocol ($10B rated, 80% Morpho TVL coverage)+ The L2Beat parallel: Raising standards for the industry+ How Credora ratings work: assessment from collateral → markets → vaults+ 2026 vision: Stablecoins to $1T, fintechs offering rated yields to retail------

Neste episódio do Fintech Talks, recebemos Filipe Ducas, Cofounder & Compensation Executive da Comp, para abrir a “caixa preta” da remuneração no mundo das startups e fintechs. A conversa passa por como diferentes verticais (como healthtechs e fintechs) montam mixes distintos de pacote total, por que flexibilidade virou um ativo tão valioso quanto dinheiro para times técnicos, e como equilibrar salário fixo, bônus e incentivos de longo prazo sem comprometer o runway da startup. Filipe também explica o que muda quando saímos do modelo tradicional de pesquisas salariais (lentas, caras e defasadas) para benchmarks mais ágeis e próximos do “tempo real”, além de debater as novas tensões trazidas por IA: cargos híbridos, demanda por cibersegurança, apagão de talentos e o risco de um buraco na formação de profissionais juniores. Falamos também de transparência salarial, do desafio de equidade interna em ambientes dinâmicos, e de como founders lidam com a própria remuneração à medida que a empresa amadurece. Uma conversa que mostra a importância do tema remuneração nos dias de hoje e reforça o fato de que, quando bem desenhada, essa pauta vira ferramenta estratégica para incentivar comportamentos e sustentar performance.Confira!*Este episódio é apresentado com o apoio do MBA USP/ESALQ.

We are in a data cold war that is beginning to warm up. Today, community banks only hold 20%-25% of their customers' total financial data, due to the financial fragmentation of average Americans. With this massive data deficit on customers, bankers are realizing the need to switch from defense to offense when it comes to gathering information that can be put to work for the bank. Open banking is the best way to plug those data deficits by securing customers' permission to aggregate their disparate financial data back to the bank from the 10-15 other financial service providers they typically use. Join the discussion with Jack Henry's Sr. Director of Corporate Strategy, Lee Wetherington, on the importance of data regardless of the regulatory chaos at the federal level.Send 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.

Banking as a service, community banks, and fintech partnerships are changing how small businesses access financial products. Tedd Huff, CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre and founder of Fintech Confidential, along with Stephen Bishop of amBaaSsador and Fintech Confidential, Confidential Informant, sits down with Lindsay Borgeson, President of Partner Banking at Core Bank, to unpack how a community bank in Omaha, Nebraska built a full BaaS platform from scratch without a top-five bank playbook to follow.The BaaS space has had its share of high-profile failures. Consent orders, compliance breakdowns, and program manager implosions have made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Core Bank took a different approach. They spent time reading every consent order before writing a single line of code. They went to their regulators, both the FDIC and the state, before building anything. They presented their strategic plan, invited regulators back multiple times outside of formal exams, and built a reputation for transparency before they ever onboarded a single fintech client."We are not the biggest name in BaaS," Lindsay admits. "Yet, we certainly aim to be a well-known, respected name, but for the right reasons."That mindset shaped everything about how CoreX, their BaaS brand, was built. They did not try to bolt new capabilities onto an existing tech stack with bubblegum and duct tape. When their initial technology partner did not work out, they stopped, went back to the board, and interviewed over ten vendors before selecting Core Bank as their Side core and Oscilar for transaction monitoring. They later added Cobalt Labs for AI-driven compliance workflows. Each decision was made with long-term strategic alignment in mind, not speed to market.The compliance model at CoreX offers two paths. Fintechs can choose managed compliance, where the bank handles transaction monitoring, KYB, and KYC. Or they can run customized compliance if they have the internal muscle to own those functions themselves. Either way, the expectation is the same: compliance is not a phase, it is a constant. Lindsay puts it simply: "Compliance first. I should probably consider removing it because it's compliance always."What makes CoreX different from other sponsor banks is the focus on who they want to serve. Their ideal customer profile centers on fintechs that support small businesses, particularly vertical SaaS platforms in industries Core Bank already understands. Construction, real estate, property management, unions, aviation, medical, and hospitality are all sectors where the bank already has deep expertise on the traditional side of the house. That knowledge transfers directly into how they evaluate fintech partnerships.The "dinner test" came up more than once. If you would not want to sit down for a meal with a potential partner, you should not get into a contract with them. When things go wrong, and they will, the quality of the relationship determines whether both sides can work through it or walk away bitter.For fintechs considering a community bank partnership, the advice is direct. Know what matters to you before you start talking to banks. Do not compromise on compliance or risk management just because someone promises speed or a lower price. And if a bank says they can have you live in three months and profitable in twelve, something is off. Building this correctly takes time.For community banks thinking about entering BaaS, the message is just as clear. Do not dabble. This is not a side-of-desk project. It requires dedicated people, a separate tech stack, a documented risk appetite, and full alignment from the board down. If your executive team is not excited about it, you will not have the patience to do it right."It's not for the faint of heart," Lindsay says. "But it is really a great avenue for community banks to thrive."Core Bank is now expanding into embedded...

No episódio desta semana do Fintech Talks, Bruno Diniz recebe Walter Pereira, fundador da W Fintechs e sócio da Boyce Data, para uma conversa sobre o papel das Infraestruturas Públicas Digitais na transformação do sistema financeiro e da economia brasileira.Partindo de exemplos como CPF, CNH, Pix, Open Finance e gov.br, discutimos como o Brasil vem construindo plataformas digitais pensadas para o longo prazo, capazes de conectar dados, serviços, empresas e cidadãos. O episódio explora os desafios de interoperabilidade, governança, padronização e usabilidade, além das diferenças entre modelos liderados pelo regulador e iniciativas mais orientadas pelo mercado.Ao longo da conversa, analisamos também por que países emergentes têm se tornado referência global nesse campo, como a regulação pode impulsionar inovação, e quais são os riscos e oportunidades na próxima fase dessa agenda, especialmente em um contexto marcado por IA, economia de dados e inclusão digital.Uma discussão importante para quem quer entender como a infraestrutura digital se tornou parte central da competitividade, da inovação e do impacto social no Brasil — e por que esse tema tende a ganhar ainda mais relevância nos próximos anos.Confira!*Este episódio é apresentado com o apoio do MBA USP/ESALQ.

Jochen Siegert und André Bajorat starten mit einem wahren News-Feuerwerk ins neue Jahr. Es geht um neue Kooperationen, Erfolgszahlen und die Krise von PayPal.

Es mag sich um eine Koinzidenz handeln. Aber auffällig ist dann doch, dass sich digital geprägte Banken vermehrt in die Obhut klassisch geprägter Banker begeben. Revolut macht den früheren SocGen-CEO Frédéric Oudéa zum Europa-Chef. Bei N26 übernimmt Noch-UBS-Vorstand Mike Dargan das Ruder. Und die Solarisbank wird neuerdings von einem Mann geführt (Steffen Jentsch), der, als er halb so alt war wie er es heute ist, schon zum Abteilungsleiter bei der Helaba aufstieg. So gesehen ist Oliver Behrens mit seinen mittlerweile 62 Jahren also ein absoluter Trendsetter! Dabei kam die Nachricht, dass Behrens der neue CEO von FlatexDegiro wird, im Sommer 2024 eher überraschend. Klar, einerseits konnte der Onlinebroker nach den Verwerfungen zwischen Großaktionär Bernd Förtsch und dem langjährigen Vorstandschef Frank Niehage einen seriösen Ruhepol gut gebrauchen. Andererseits: Wäre es nicht naheliegender gewesen, auf die neue Konkurrenz durch hippe Fintechs wie Trade Republic mit einem ebenso hippen neuen CEO zu reagieren? Statt mit Oliver Behrens, Ex-Deutsche-Bank, Ex-DWS, Ex-Deka, Ex-Morgan-Stanley. Und als Präsident von Frankfurt Main Finance (das wurde er 2024 ebenfalls) ist er zwar ein gewichtiger Kopf am Finanzplatz, aber gefühlt damals auf dem Weg zum operativen Has-been, zumal man ihn wenige Wochen vorher erst zum AR-Chef der DWS gekürt hatte. Um es kurz zu machen – so kann man sich täuschen! Behrens stürzte sich in seinen neuen Job. Und keine anderthalb Jahre später hat sich die Flatex-Aktie mehr als verdreifacht und steht der Frankfurter Onlinebroker (Börsenwert jetzt >4 Mrd. Euro) so prächtig da wie nie zuvor. Wie ist das passiert? Was kommt als nächstes? Und wie blickt Oliver Behrens aufs "Payment for Orderflow"-Verbot, wie auf den ETF-Boom, wie auf die Private-Markets-Welle?

During a chance encounter over coffee with former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon abruptly cut in, pointing a finger and telling Armstrong bluntly, “You are full of s—,” according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal.

In this episode of FinTech Layer Cake, Reggie Young sits down with Gokul Dhingra, Co-Founder and CEO of Narrative, to unpack how AI is reshaping compliance, oversight, and growth in the fintech ecosystem. Narrative is tackling one of the industry's biggest pain points—the rising cost of compliance and risk management—by turning oversight into a source of efficiency and even competitive advantage.Gokul shares how banks and fintechs can align around shared objectives, why complaints data is an overlooked goldmine for growth, and how Narrative uses AI to reduce operational thrash while keeping humans in the loop. The conversation digs into the misconceptions about AI “hallucinations,” the subtle ways bias shows up in both humans and algorithms, and why empathy is the ultimate differentiator in building trust with customers and regulators alike.If you've wondered what it takes to scale innovation in a highly regulated environment without sacrificing trust—or how AI can be deployed responsibly in financial services—this episode offers a roadmap from someone building it in real time.

Die Neobank Vivid galt lange als ernstzunehmender Angreifer von N26 und Revolut. Mit aggressivem Marketing konnte das Berliner Fintech von Gründer Alexander Emeshev schnell wachsen und erhielt hohe Investments von Softbank und Ribbit – zu einer Bewertung von 750 Millionen Euro. Doch vor rund einem Jahr beschloss Emeshev einen radikalen Schritt und fuhr das Marketing für Endkunden komplett herunter. Seitdem fokussiert sich Vivid auf Geschäftskunden – und die Zahlen können sich sehen lassen: 100.000 Firmenkunden nutzen das Geschäftskonto. Nun tritt Vivid wieder mit aggressiven Angeboten im Markt auf und will sich gegen Fintechs wie Finom und Qonto durchsetzen. Über seine großen Pläne, die hohe Bewertung aus Hype-Zeiten und die Hintergründe des Pivots hat Redakteur Caspar Schlenk mit Alexander Emeshev gesprochen.

As artificial intelligence-powered tools flood the market and marketing becomes faster, cheaper and easier to automate, advisors are discovering an uncomfortable truth: more tech doesn't automatically create more trust. In an industry that's louder and more crowded than ever, growth is no longer a tactics problem; it's an attention, resonance and differentiation problem. The firms that win will be the ones that understand how technology amplifies identity, not replaces it, and how behavioral finance and neuroscience shape decisions long before a prospect ever takes a meeting. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, Shannon Rosic sits down with Dr. Joshua Wilson, founder of NeuBeFi, to explore where tech, behavioral finance, and human psychology actually intersect, and why most advisors are focusing on the wrong side of the decision-making process. Key takeaways: Why most firms have a marketability problem, not a marketing problem  How technology amplifies identity rather than creating differentiation What “signal discovery” means and how it turns sameness into differentiation Why growth fails when treated as a checklist instead of a diagnosis How clarity and cognitive relief drive trust in money decisions Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Dr. Joshua Wilson: LinkedIn: Dr. Joshua Wilson LinkedIn: NeuBeFi Website: NeuBeFi About Our Guest: Dr. Joshua Wilson is the pioneer behind Neuro-Behavioral Finance—a transformative approach that fuses behavioral finance, neuroscience, narrative strategy, and decision science to help advisors and FinTechs become the only option their ideal clients feel drawn to.

After selling his book, he led another RIA from turnaround to rapid expansion to acquisition as CEO. In addition to guiding wealth advisors and FinTechs, his expertise has been sought by $20+ billion asset managers, platforms backed by Y Combinator, marketing agencies, and venture capital firms. His programs have reshaped firms that later appeared in Forbes, Financial Times Top 300 RIAs, the RIA Database’s Top 100 Emerging Wealth Managers, and more. Individually, Joshua has been named to multiple Forbes lists honoring America’s top financial advisors and recognized multiple times as a 5 Star Wealth Manager.

Miriam Wohlfarth (Banxware) spricht über die härtesten Learnings beim Gründen im Fintech-Bereich — und warum Regulatorik zum entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktor wird. Du erfährst, warum Miriam ohne Anwalt kein Fintech mehr starten würde und wieso falsche Entscheidungen aus der ersten Gründung sie heute anders handeln lassen. Was du lernst: Warum ein guter juristischer Co-Founder oder Berater in Fintechs kein Nice-to-have, sondern Überlebensfaktor ist. Welche typischen Fehler First-Time-Founder machen — und wie du verhinderst, zu früh zu viele Anteile abzugeben. Was regulatorische Anforderungen wirklich bedeuten — inklusive BaFin-Post, Lizenzstress und Worst-Case-Szenarien. Warum Europa Fintech stärker bremsen kann als es muss — und wie Länder Regulierung unterschiedlich interpretieren.

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?

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.
