Ricardo Pero of SellersFi on building a fintech lender focused on e-commerce merchants 28:14

7d ago28:14

28:14

An e-commerce merchant is a unique type of business. They are built on top of a platform like Amazon, eBay or Shopify and as such there is a great deal of empirical data about their business.

Wayne Slavin of Sure on building the technology rails to make insurance fully digital 33:23

15d ago33:23

33:23

People often say that technology in insurance is just five years behind other areas of finance. But the reality is the technology rails that have been built for payments, lending and deposits have taken decades of evolution. Insurance is different. There is no Plaid, Stripe or even ACH for insurance, and so we have a product that still relies on a …

JB Orecchia of SavvyMoney on building credit score solutions for banks, credit unions and fintechs 34:24

28d ago34:24

34:24

The humble credit score has come a long way. Consumers, particularly younger consumers, are more aware of their credit score today than ever before. Historically, banks and credit unions have been the gatekeepers of our financial lives so it makes sense that they would want to provide information and context around credit scores. At the same time d…

Oban MacTavish of Spade on creating a real-time system of enhanced card merchant data 32:32

1M ago32:32

32:32

The core of the card payments system as we know it today has been around for many decades. This system has a number of major shortcomings, not least of which is the 45-character limited established by the ISO 8583 standard. That may have been enough characters back in the 1980s but it is severely limiting in today's complex world. But problems like…

The Generative AI hype is not dying down. But where are the use cases in fintech beyond the basic chatbot?

30:48

While BNPL has gathered all the attention these past few years, there is another point-of-sale financing category that has been around for decades: lease-to-own, sometimes called rent-to-own.

The resources that consumer lenders have to work with today are better than ever before.

3M ago31:37

31:37

There is a shift that is beginning to happen in financial services: using purchase history to provide more personalized offers from merchants. There is no richer data for advertisers than knowing how we actually spend our money.
