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.

The second meeting of the IPA book club delves into “The Age of Cryptocurrency”

4/11/2023

 
The Second Installment of the IPA Book Club delves into the realm of Bitcoin, blockchains, and all things crypto with The Age of Cryptocurrency by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey. 

In the latest episode of the IPA Payments Pod, the IPA’s CEO, Brian Tate, and Ben Jackson, the IPA’s COO, discuss their thoughts on the book. They cover what they think the book got right, where it went in the wrong direction, and what the book can tell us about where the payments industry is headed.  

As Brian mentioned, the next book will be The Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli. If you have read the book and have strong feelings about it or want to read it and discuss it with us, email our host at [email protected], and maybe you can be on the show!
