FEATURING: Matthew Smith, Webster Bank
More than ever, financial institutions must rethink their legacy business models for growth and profitability. This is especially true for mid-tier organizations that can’t spend at the pace of the biggest banking leaders.
Headquartered in Stamford, CT, Webster Bank is a leading bank in the Northeast that provides a wide range of digital and traditional financial solutions. With $68 billion in assets, its core footprint spans the northeastern U.S., with certain businesses operating in extended geographies. They recently merged with Sterling Bank.
My guest on the FIsionaries podcast is Matthew Smith, Chief Digital Banking Officer and Head of Enterprise Product, Marketing, and Transformation at Webster Bank. Matthew discusses how Webster Bank has marched forward with digital transformation while also managing a core conversion as a result of their merger with Sterling Bank.
