What makes a fintech firm or challenger bank different from a legacy financial institution? Is it the products offered or the digital platform? Or is it deeper than that?

In discussions with dozens of fintech organizations as part of this podcast, I believe there is a completely different mindset at most fintech firms. What I have also found is that this ‘challenger mindset’ doesn’t need to exist only at new firms. It must be the foundation for any successful organization.

We are very fortunate to have Eric Fulwiler, Founder & CEO of Rival, a marketing innovation consultancy, and previous executive director of VaynerMedia in London on the Banking Transformed podcast . We discuss what it means to have a challenger mindset and why it is more important today than at any time in the past.
