    Why Banks Need to Monitor Change: Galileo explains how to be successful in Banking as a Service

    The growth of Fintech has led banks to examine opportunities in acting as a sponsor bank and offer Banking as a Service. This offers opportunities for innovative banks, but success is not guaranteed. In this episode, Michael Haney, the head of product strategy at Galileo, discusses the tools needed to be successful in Banking as a Service (BaaS).  We cover how to identify opportunities, what banks need to have in place to launch a program, and how to manage the business. The IPA thanks our member sponsor, Netspend, for helping to make this show possible. This podcast was recorded on May 18, 2023. Things may have changed by the time you hear it.

    IPA's August Government Update

    August is a quiet month for the government, so it is a good time to take a look at the regulatory big picture.  A lot is happening in Washington, and in this episode, the IPA's CEO Brian Tate, and Brian Axell, of Axell discuss some of the forces that will shape the industry.   They talk about a potential bill that would change the way credit card transactions are routed, data privacy and cryptocurrency bills, and what the FDIC rules on advertising mean for fintechs. They also talk about why the CFPB may step up its use of guidance and enforcement instead of traditional rule making.    If you want to keep up with what all of this means for your compliance obligations, then join the IPA on September 29 in Chicago for our 2022 Compliance boot Camp.

    IPA's September Government Update

    August is supposed to be a quiet month in Washington DC, but this year, it was just the prelude to what promises to be a busy autumn.   In this episode, the IPA's CEO Brian Tate, and Chris Stromberg, IPA's head of government relations, talk about where things stand today and what will shape the payments ecosystem in the months to come.    They talk about the philosophical approaches the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are taking towards fintechs, the midterm elections, and ongoing lawsuits that may shape the industry.  The IPA would like to thank its member sponsor Netspend for its support of this podcast.    If you want to keep up with what all of this means for your compliance obligations, then join the IPA on September 29 in Chicago for our 2022 Compliance boot Camp.

    The Future of Risk Mitigation

    Payments don't happen in a vacuum. Understanding the context around transactions can mitigate the risk of fraud.  In this episode, the IPA presents the edited audio portion of a Webinar that we held with Deep Labs' Vice President and payments industry veteran Tia Ilori.    She described how Deep Labs uses people, processes, and technologies to identify suspicious behavior that may otherwise transact undetected.   We discussed how the events of the past few years have changed the patterns of people's behavior and how to keep up with the changing times. The ability to keep up with cardholder behavior can determine whether or not a company's card is at the top of the cardholder's wallet when it comes time to make a big purchase. It can also determine whether or not a portfolio will be safe from criminal looking to use chaos as an opportunity to circumvent defenses.

    Filtering Payments with FIS

    Directing dollars into specific spending channels can benefit consumers, program managers, and payments companies.   FIS has been providing filters for government programs for some time, and it is now expanding the technology so that it can be used for other applications. The company plans to offer filtered cards that run on open networks for private businesses to use for things like incentives and budgeting.   In this episode, we talk with Deirdre Ives, general manager of prepaid at FIS, about how filtering works, how it has been used, and where it might go in the future.

    The Dangers of Good Marketing

    Good marketing seems like it would be a crucial part of any business plan, but even the best marketing plans in the world come with risks.   In this episode, we present a lightly edited version of the audio from our Oct. 4 webinar, The Dangers of Good Marketing with Adwait Joshi, the founder and Chief Seer at DataSeers, an AI software provider for banks and fintechs.   He discusses the risks of good marketing, including the business risks of attracting the wrong kinds of customers and the security risks of drawing the attention of fraudsters. He also talks about how to implement solutions.   We want to thank our member sponsor NetSpend for supporting the show.
