Shared Accounts With CU Times: Let’s Talk About Fintech 'Partnerships'
Ron Shevlin of Cornerstone Advisors brings clarity to a convoluted space where both credit unions and fintechs fight for relevance.
What’s the status of the relationship between credit unions and fintechs these days? The answer is, it’s complicated. Often referred to as competitors but more recently seen as partners, fintechs and credit unions have endured a push-pull relationship that at its best, leads to growth for both parties, and at its worst, threatens credit unions’ business.
In this episode, Cornerstone Advisors Chief Research Officer Ron Shevlin draws upon over 25 years of experience as a consultant, researcher, writer and speaker in the financial services realm to explain the state of credit union-fintech partnerships. He discusses findings from Cornerstone’s latest “What’s Going On in Banking” report, defining moments in the history of fintechs’ rise, the credit union industry’s recent fintech investments and a whole lot more.
Shevlin’s take on fintechs and credit unions is entertaining, informative, unbiased and sometimes blunt. You don’t want to miss it!
