S1E27: Fintech 101

As the financial services industry embraces digital transformation through mobile banking and data connectivity, Fintech is reshaping finance and empowering consumers to take control of their financial lives. This has led to increased financial literacy levels compared to previous years. In 2021, Fintech startups raised over $120 billion, highlighting their growing importance. However, the Fintech industry also faces unique testing and quality assurance challenges, particularly with regard to regulatory compliance and security requirements. In today's episode, we are excited to have Cathy Hsu, Founding Product Manager of Lead Bank, share her experience in the Fintech industry.

Prior to joining Lead Bank, the industry-leading banking-as-a-service partner for Fintechs, she worked as a product manager at Squar. Cathy believes that the key to bringing about real change is to embrace a proactive approach to risk-taking, rather than avoiding it or simply accepting the status quo. By understanding the risks involved, we can take control of them and leverage technology to mitigate them effectively.
