Partnering for Success:
A Practical Guide to Bank - Fintech Partnerships

In the world of bank–fintech partnerships, strong alignment is critical. This webinar will examine what it takes to establish and sustain effective bank - fintech relationships. From initial diligence to long-term governance, risk management and regulatory alignment, we will cover how successful partnerships are structured and why others fail.

Whether you are a bank evaluating fintech partners, a fintech seeking a sponsor bank or a risk, compliance, legal or audit professional supporting these relationships, this session will provide practical guidance for building sustainable, well-managed partnerships. 
 

You will walk away with:

  • Understand key regulatory expectations, roles and responsibilities and third-party risk management requirements
  • Apply best practices for successful partnerships, including onboarding, contracting, ongoing oversight and issue management
  • Assess strategic alignment, risk appetite, culture and business model fit between banks and fintechs
