A webinar hosted by Travillian yielded quite a few interesting takeaways.
Last week, The Travillian Group hosted a webinar that I was fortunate to co-moderate along with Brian Love from Travillian. The topic was the ever-increasing convergence of fintech and banking, and panelists included three community bank CEOs that are at the forefront of this discussion: Larry Mazza from MVB Financial Corp. (MVBF); Eric Sprink from Coastal Financial Corp. (CCB); and Chuck Shaffer from Seacoast Banking Corp. of Florida (SBCF). While the specific strategies employed by each company to capitalize on this opportunity are markedly different, at the same time, Brian and I were struck by some of the remarkable similarities in their approach to the business and common vision as to where the sector is headed. In short, it was a fascinating discussion that should prove relevant to all bank sector constituents (community and regional bankers; Boards of Directors; investors; etc.).
