WEBINAR DETAILS

Fintech companies are dramatically changing the financial services industry. Many community banks are entering into business relationships with fintech companies to provide innovative products to enhance customer satisfaction, increase the bank’s efficiency, and reduce costs.  Due diligence and risk evaluation have always been important components in a bank’s third-party risk management process, and this is especially important when “partnering” with fintech companies.  This webinar will detail the specific items that bank regulators require you to consider when conducting due diligence and evaluating a fintech company.  You’ll also learn the practical business issues to address when entering into such a relationship.
