Achieving successful bank-fintech partnerships isn’t easy. In this interview between Robert Keil, Chief Fintech Officer at FinWise Bank, and Mangala Martinus, Managing Director at Payments Consulting Network, we discuss the importance of fintech partnerships for banks, the challenges for both sides of the equation, and the considerations for banks and fintechs in building successful long-term partnerships. In this episode, Robert also highlights the need for transparency, clear expectations, streamlined procedures, prioritising compliance, and treating FinTechs as vendors rather than customers.
