Fintech and Banks: A Growing Ecosystem of Partnerships

Written by Sal Trifilio | April 15, 2019

On April 8 and 9, thousands of attendees descended on the Moscone Center in San Francisco for the seventh annual LendIt Fintech USA conference, a leading event for the financial services industry.

This year’s event, as in years past, welcomed everyone from C-Suite executives inside some of the country’s largest financial institutions, to hungry startups looking to elevate their game inside the space.

Our very own Dan O’Malley, Numerated’s CEO, was also in attendance, and took some time at the conference to sit down for a panel discussion around the recent trend of banks partnering with fintechs, and the growing ecosystems they create.

Dan was joined on stage by People’s United Bank’s Ravi Vakacheria, TD Ameritrade’s Sunayna Tuteja, and BMO Financial Group’s Ben Schack, with the session moderated by Bryan Lee of Salesforce.

While the conversation touched a number of topics, the panelists were focused on discussing the nuts and bolts of banking innovation—what does it look like? How are partnerships formed? And what makes them successful?

You can find a recording of the entire panel discussion on iTunes, or online here.
