As the fintech industry continue to innovate, one of the big questions is where does it go from here?
The future direction of the industry may be best represented by a company that has gone through its evolution. Green Dot is one of the original Fintechs. It started with prepaid cards sold mostly through retail and has since evolved into a leader in the digital bank space.
In this episode, we talk with Greg Quarles, president of Green Dot Bank about how the company has evolved to work with tech partners like Apple, Google, and Uber. We also discuss the advantages of having a bank charter, and why other fintechs will need to consider adding products like lending if they want to thrive in the long run.
