S3 Ep2: BNC: What Makes a Bank Safe, the Federal Discount Window, and Innovation in Banking
Podcast: Fintech TakesRating: Explicit Published On: Wed Apr 12 2023
Description: With the benefit of some hindsight (finally), what are the big takeaways from SVB? Kiah Haslett, managing editor of Bank Director, is in the studio to chat with Alex about why the SVB collapse is redefining how we think about “safe” banking. They explain how a herd mentality and poor time management culminated in SVB’s failure and dissect why a safe bank could actually contain so much risk. Plus, Kiah and Alex discuss why the stigma surrounding the Federal Reserve Window is so great and debate whether or not banks can be good at both innovation and risk management. Sign up for Alex’s Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.
