In this episode of The Currency of Knowledge, we sit down with Rann Painter, President and CEO of the Michigan Bankers Association, to discuss the rapidly changing world of banking, financial literacy, and consumer protection.

Rann shares insights on how banking has evolved over the past decade — from fraud prevention and cybersecurity to stablecoins, digital currencies, and new federal regulations. We also explore the Michigan Bankers Association’s role in advocating for both banks and consumers, including their leadership in making financial literacy a high school graduation requirement in Michigan.
