Every financial institution today is sitting on a goldmine of customer data, yet most struggle to turn those insights into a real competitive advantage. The challenge isn’t collecting data — it’s knowing what to do with it.

Rachel O’Neill from Alkami joins me on the Banking Transformed podcast to tackle the hard questions: Why do so many banks fail to activate their data strategically? How can institutions break through the paralysis of analysis and start driving tangible business outcomes? And what separates the winners from the wishful thinkers in today’s data-driven banking landscape?

From streamlining back-office operations to enhancing customer financial wellness, it’s clear that institutions embracing data-driven strategies are positioning themselves for sustained success in an increasingly competitive landscape.
