The home mortgage space has been undergoing a transformation over the past couple of years. We have seen fintech lenders grabbing market share as they were best suited to grow during the pandemic when everything went virtual. There has been so much innovation that financing a home is no longer the long and painful process that it historically has been. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On•One podc...

With real estate prices at record highs all across the country, owning a home is becoming more out of reach for first-time homebuyers. For millennials and Gen-Z, saving enough money for a downpayment has become a huge challenge, much harder than it was for their parents or grandparents. A huge problem like this calls for a creative solution. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On•One podcast is Aden...

The expense management space is heating up. While it has not garnered headlines much in the past there has been a lot more attention focused on it in the last couple of years. Earlier this year we saw Bill.com acquire Divvy for several billion dollars and companies like Brex are unicorns many times over. But hardly one is focused on the middle market companies, those with 50 to 1,000 employees. Ou...

The home insurance industry has been dominated by legacy insurance carriers for decades. These companies are still doing business the same way as last century with a primarily transactional relationship with their customers. But there is a new breed of insurtech companies that are challenging the status quo and doing so in remarkable new ways. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On•One podcast is As...

In many ways the racial wealth gap has it roots in the financial system. It was one the driving forces behind the Community Reinvestment Act of the 1970s but clearly that did not solve the problem. We need radical new solutions that get to the heart of the problem and one of those solutions is more home ownership for minorities. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On•One podcast is B.C. Silver, the...

#307: Aaron Klein of Brookings 16.07.2021 32:42

While America remains the richest economy in the world it is also the one where it is the most expensive to be poor. I have written about overdraft fees before ( here and here ) and that is one of the real problems with the banking system that is holding people back that live paycheck to paycheck. But it is about more than overdrafts, it is about expensive bank accounts and payments that take too...

The freelance market in the U.S. is huge and it continues to grow. During the pandemic as millions of people were displaced from their regular job, many decided to supplement or replace their income with freelance work. These people have unique needs when it comes to banking, they are not quite a consumer and not really a small business. They are a bit of both. Our next guest on the Fintech One•On...

#305: Brendan Coughlin of Citizens Bank 02.07.2021 32:50

I have been following Citizens Bank for many years as they built this robust online lending operation across multiple verticals. They have also launched an in-house digital bank called Citizens Access and they have a groundbreaking partnership with Apple which has, in many ways, changed the iPhone buying experience. They are a top 25 bank that has the mindset of a fintech. Our next guest on the Fi...

One of the main use cases for decentralized finance (DeFi) has been lending. This typically involves crypto investors using their holdings as collateral to take out a loan to (often) invest in more crypto. This is all done programmatically via smart contracts but it has all seemed far removed from traditional finance. But in April, we had the world’s first real estate transaction conducted via De...
