Conference season is here and Kiah Haslett is here to break down all the latest news and events in banking and fintech, including all the hot conference goss and Alex’s big plans for coming out of an early retirement to play one last game of pickup basketball at Money 20/20.

Then, Alex and Kiah dive into the intricacies of the OCC’s 2024 Bank Supervision Operation Plan, outlining priorities for bank supervisors. How, exactly, can we expect supervisors to monitor all of the different areas they're being tasked with managing? And, as the role of the OCC shifts, will they be able to effectively balance familiarity with objectivity in examinations? 

Later, Alex and Kiah discuss the implications of the new CFPB guidelines, commiserating over whether or not there’s a way to dispense adverse action notices without having it undermine the underwriting process. Then, they ask another unanswerable question – what is the right way to build a personal financial management app? 

Also, stay tuned to find out why Alex’s head might explode if he hears one more founder refer to their child as a seed fund…
