In 2017, financial institutions will hear much more about innovative financial technology (FinTech) companies, distributed ledgers (like blockchain), and cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin). While industry experts agree that “seamless integration with third parties” will be key for institutions going forward, many still fear the threats posed by FinTechs and new technologies transforming financial services. 2017 will be marked by continued “fintegration” (i.e., financial institutions and FinTechs coming together through powerful API platforms that expedite evolution of digital channels, enable mobile-first services, and improve user experience (UX)). These API platforms are what will ultimately give financial institutions the flexibility to partner with a growing array of best-of-breed FinTechs in ways that will enrich, extend, and differentiate their digital services. Join us for a bottom-line look at the latest financial technologies and companies, how banks are leveraging them, and what it all means for community banks and their future.
