Brad more recently has started a bank venture in Mexico and serves on various Boards, including as Chair of the Audit Committee at MoneyLion (ML). In this episode, we start at the beginning, discussing why the BaaS business was built out initially and what value proposition it was looking to solve. We also cover the current state of the regulatory regime for innovative banks, what the future of banking could look like, and how the BaaS niche has changed in the last twenty-plus years. Brad has a unique and independent perspective of the current environment, and bankers across the country looking for motivation to innovate take Brad’s advice and “run where others aren’t.”
