MONEY20/20 LIVE Series!!

Join us on a deep expedition into the intricate realm of banking in the modern era. We guarantee you'll gain valuable insights from our guest host, Ryan Falvey of Restive Ventures and distinguished panelists - former FDIC chairman Jelena McWilliams; Itai Damti, the CEO and founder of Unit; and seasoned banker Mary Dent. Together we'll pull back the curtain on the challenges the banking industry grapples with, pinpointing the unique circumstances that led to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the regulatory responses that followed.

Why are banks reluctant to serve consumer use cases? What barriers do mission-driven companies face when trying to scale? We dissect these pressing questions and more as we discuss the impact of regulatory trends on innovation and inclusion. We also shed light on how data is transforming relationships within the banking sphere and why nurturing relationships in immigrant communities is a critical piece of the puzzle.

Our insightful conversation wraps up by highlighting the potential for financial inclusion and innovation through bank and tech partnerships. As we navigate through the complex regulatory landscape, we address the potential implications of a restrictive approach on financial inclusion and innovation. Listen in as we contemplate the role of the private sector in promoting economic inclusion and creating more equitable outcomes. This episode is a compelling blend of thought-provoking discussions, expert insights, and a keen exploration of future possibilities. Let's embark on this transformative journey into the world of banking and financial technology together.
