The Fintech Imperative
Partner Jeffrey Alberts, co-chair of Pryor Cashman's FinTech Group, will moderate an upcoming panel hosted by NYPAY, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit association dedicated to connecting innovators and leaders from the payments industry such as issuers, merchants, networks, FinTech startups, regulators, and others. The panel is titled "The Fintech Imperative." Its description is as follows:
Almost 50% of C-level bank executives see working with fintechs as an integral part of their business strategy, according to CCG Catalyst's 2021 US Banking Study. Another 28% work with fintechs on a one-off basis. Clearly, fintech's time has come, and community banks are realizing the importance of working with them. In conjunction with the New York League of Independent Bankers (NYLIB), NYPAY has assembled an all-star panel to speak to the roles, the importance, and what it takes to build working relationships between banks and fintechs from the perspective of both.
Panelists will include:
- Himi Khan, Head of Business Development, Clinc
- Jeff Keltner, SVP and Co-Founder, Upstart
- Keith Vander Leest, Payments Director, Cross River Bank
- Steven Schnall, Founder & CEO, Quontic Bank
