Colton Pond, Global CMO of Socure and co-founder of Fintech Nerdcon, joins Rory Holland to discuss the technological landscape of identity and trust. Colton shares why the predicted "war" between banks and fintechs shifted toward collaboration and how traditional institutions are now embracing tech-first strategies.
