Negotiating with Fintechs – Beyond Due Diligence
Raj Patel, Co-Founder, COO & CFO, MANTL
When fintech startups began to emerge, many were touted as “disruptors” who would put the “banking dinosaurs” out of business — it hasn’t quite worked out that way. Instead, financial technology is impacting the industry in three main ways: changing consumer behavior, creating new business models and changing the basis of competition in the industry. This session reviews the principal issues banks should address when evaluating their relationships with new fintechs, whether as a service provider, partner or affiliate. This session also reviews key contractual considerations and the importance of sharing the responsibility for, and benefits of, success.

10:20 AM – 10:50 AM CST
What Openness Means in Digital Banking Today & How Banks Can Embrace This
Nikhil Lakhanpal, Co-Founder, Narmi
With competition for deposits and loans at an all-time high, banks must innovate quickly to meet evolving customer needs or else lose market share to emerging fintechs and challenger banks. By leveraging an open digital banking platform, banks can remain competitive and deliver robust functionality with a speed to market unheard of in the industry. Join Nikhil as he dives into what openness means and how banks can deliver customized functionality for long-lasting growth.

10:50 AM – 11:20 AM CST
Quontic Bank: How to Adapt Banking Culture to Enable Fast Transformation
Raj Patel, Co-Founder, COO & CFO, MANTL

In mid-2018, Quontic Bank faced pressure from the OCC to increase core deposits. To rapidly scale deposit operations, Quontic has reinvented itself as a mission-driven digital bank. Along the way, they have transformed their internal culture to embrace change and focus on “progress over perfection.”

As a CDFI, Quontic is also committed to using technology to reimagine how banks can serve their communities, especially those affected by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Learn how Quontic is leveraging technology to grow customer relationships, streamline operations and realize cost savings online and at its physical branch.
