    Fintech Insider Insights - How can community banks win on the banking battlefield?

    Our expert host Kate Moody is joined by some great guests to talk about community banks, and how they can get the edge and win on the banking battlefield.
    It might seem at first glance that these small to mid tier banks serving only a certain region or niche of customers might have the odds against them, and yet - community banks are often uniquely positioned to serve their customers in ways the bigger banks can’t, won’t, or don’t. 
    We're going to dig into all of this to try and put together a guide to community banks everywhere on how to get the advantage.

    This week's guests include:

    Rohit Mathur, CEO at Bridge

    Jason Bates, Deputy CEO at 11:FS

    Barb McLean, SVP, Head of Technology Operations and Implementation, Coastal Community Bank

Best fintech podcast

I love the variety of guests, the different hosts, and the different topics. They’re not afraid to tackle the hard questions, especially around inclusivity. If you want to stay up-to-date on fintech, definitely listen to this podcast. Looking forward to hearing more about corporate banking innovations as well.

Eddie J. Soto ,

Fintech Insider is awesome to pair with your breakfast.

I love the guest panel of Chris Maddern, Maya Caddle, and Rhian Lewis. Providing insight into the UX design being a weekpoint in the Crypto space really provides a groundwork on making it more welcoming. I love what Chris is developing with portfolio management and understanding your digital assets value. Maya's point about global product market fit for the digital asset space is an important hurdle that needs to be emphasized.
