Why Banks Need to Monitor Change

5/30/2023

 

​Galileo explains how to be successful in Banking as a Service

The growth of Fintech has led banks to examine opportunities in acting as a sponsor bank and offer Banking as a Service.

This offers opportunities for innovative banks, but success is not guaranteed.

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, Michael Haney, the head of product strategy at Galileo, discusses the tools needed to be successful in Banking as a Service (BaaS). We cover how to identify opportunities, what banks need to have in place to launch a program, and how to manage the business.

The IPA thanks our member sponsor, Netspend, for helping to make this show possible. For the podcast, go to www.ipa.org/podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Machiavellian Payments: The IPA Book Club Reads “The Prince”

5/16/2023

 
Can a book written in the 1500s teach us anything about the modern payments industry? 

That is the question the IPA team is tackling with our latest book club reading, “The Prince” by Nicolo Machiavelli. Originally written as a guide to power for political leaders battling over city states in renaissance Italy, the book has been on the reading lists of politicians, business leaders, and academics over the past 500 years.  

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, Brian Tate, the IPA’s CEO, and Chris Stromberg, the director of government relations, look at the book through a modern lens and see what lessons it might have to offer to anyone looking to wield power today. They also examine whether or not political and business principles intersect.

Choose Your Own Fintech Adventure: A New Report from Bank Director Magazine Guides the Way for Banks

4/28/2023

 
Buying new technology can be a real adventure for banks that want to keep up with the times, so the real question is how to avoid the pitfalls that can come when investing in fintech.  

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, Kiah Haslett, the managing editor of Bank Director Magazine and Laura Alix, the magazine’s director of research, discuss their new report “Finding Fintechs” and how it can help banks choose their own adventure when it comes to buying Fintech. Their definition of “Fintech” is a little broader than the common parlance. They talk about the strategic and practical considerations for adding new technology, and why the short-term bottom line may not be the best investment criteria.

Atomic Unlocks Consumer Financial Data

3/30/2023

 
Payroll information is used for all kinds of financial decisions, but individual workers and employers often need to jump through hoops to share it.  

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, Jordan Wright, Atomic’s CEO and co-founder, describes how the IPA member is working to solve the problems that employers and employees face when trying to share payroll data.  

We discuss how the availability of that data can enable lenders, insurers, and even employers to offer a better experience and broader set of financial products for workers than they can without it.
