Bank Nerd Corner

BNC Squared: Conference Chat and Story Roundup


Listen Later

In this episode of Bank Nerd Corner Squared, Alex is back with dispatches from both ends of the spring conference circuit: Fintech Meetup and a fintech event hosted by the Bank of North Dakota, the only state-owned bank in the country. 

Alex shared why he’s increasingly believes that artificial intelligence may be more immediately impactful for community banks than for the largest institutions, and how it could revolutionize their workforce and expand their talent pools. 

Next, Kiah and Alex do a timed overview of four different news stories:

  • The White House Council of Economic Advisers report on yield-bearing stablecoins
  • Regulatory changes that make it easier for banks to engage in mortgage and leveraged lending
  • Chime's newest Prime membership tier; and news that Citibank may be allowed to acquire a bank
  • They then chat about some major acquisition news in their industry — newsletters — as well as related questions about credibility, editorial independence and the business of business storytelling.
