Banking-as-a-service (BaaS) provides a great opportunity for existing financial institutions to reach a greater number of customers at a lower cost by teaming up with non-traditional financial and non-financial businesses.

It is expected the BaaS model will become a new battleground for both established banks and digital challengers, as the model has the potential to generate new revenue growth for both financial and non-financial businesses. The question becomes, will legacy banks become a distributor of financial products, a producer of them, or both?

I am joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Matthew Smith, Head of Digital Banking and Banking as a Service at Webster Bank. Matthew discusses why Webster Bank decided to pursue the BaaS strategy and the success of the strategy to date.
