Most people assume that fintech companies are out to take business away from banks, but what if the opposite is true?
What if, instead of being a threat, fintech companies actually open up new opportunities for banks?
That’s what a handful of banks are exploring right now. They’re doing so by essentially white-labeling deposit insurance, regulatory expertise and access to credit platforms.
You can think of it as a partnership that leverages a fintech company’s strengths on the front end of the customer experience, with attractive and refined digital interfaces, as well as a bank’s strength on the backend, by providing access to safe and secure financial products.
