Topic: Navigating the Moat Your Core Processor Has Built Around Your Data
Insights from Aaron Silva, President & CEO of Paladin fs & Golden Contract Coalition

The influx of fintech companies has disrupted the banking industry and enabled community banks to offer products and services that rival larger competitors and keep your Bank relevant. However, some legacy core providers still obstruct fintech adoption by limiting open API’s and controlling fintech access to their platforms. Join our discussion with Aaron Silva, President & CEO of Paladin fs, to learn about some of the barriers imposed by legacy providers to prevent fintech access and how your bank can navigate obstacles to fintech adoption and digital transformation. Listen and enjoy!
