Bank-Fintech Partnerships: Tensions on the Rise

Our speakers discuss the recent Request for Information promulgated by federal regulators, which is seeking industry input on bank-fintech partnership arrangements. Specifically in light of Synapse’s failure, the RFI solicits information on the nature of these arrangements, effective risk management practices, and the implications of such arrangements. We have guided both fintech and banking clients (as well as digital asset clients) as they’ve navigated these new waters in forming partnerships. Our panelist—along with a Q&A—discuss problems currently facing the industry as well as possible solutions to enable more robust and compliance solutions, including Banking-as-a-Service.
