One of fintech’s most powerful women bet $52 million on a community bank. Lead Bank cofounder and CEO Jacqueline Reses acquired the 95-year-old Kansas City–based bank in 2022. On this episode of #LeadershipNext, Reses discusses how she’s turning a 95-year-old family-owned banking institution into an innovative provider of banking infrastructure for fintechs; the importance of consistent culture across NYC and Kansas City headquarters; the spirit of entrepreneurialism in her family; her experience at Square; and what she learned from Jack Dorsey. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/d9v73RA

We've seen lots of challenges with fintechs and their bank partners. With that comes the inevitable question of how to switch your products off of one bank to another. There are a lot of details to go through so that your customers don't feel the changes with your infrastructure. Here's some thoughts to help you get started and we are happy to help even if we arent the right partner for you. #fintech #bankingasaservice #baas Lead https://lnkd.in/duYvEF5g

In yesterday's Fintech Is Femme newsletter, Jon Zanoff shared with Nicole Casperson a pivotal reason as to how our conference is different, and why it matters: "As FinTech continues to move the needle forward, it only can do so with a variety of perspectives, identities, and experiences sharing what they’re doing and why it matters with the masses. We've been the only FinTech conference at gender parity, going on 5 years straight. It all started with a lightbulb moment – which, when you really think about it, isn’t that “lightbulb” at all: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝?" But make no mistake – there is still a distinct need for more coverage of innovative women leaders, and more support from the capital markets. According to CNBC, women are less than 10% of S&P 500 CEOs, with women founders drawing about 2% of venture capital dollars. An incredible list of women who have left their mark on the economy, and the business world, are highlighted in the article below. We're looking forward to having Jacqueline Reses, CEO of Lead (featured below) on our stage this April in a fireside chat. 👉 Grab your ticket, and don't miss out: https://lnkd.in/eRa8dAJE #NYFinTechWeek #EmpireFinTech #WomensHistoryMonth
