FDIC Podcast
In the first episode of our new series, Banking on Inclusion, the FDIC's Betty Rudolph and Nicole Elam of the National Bankers Association explore the world of Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). These ‘mission-driven banks’ play an outsized role in the economic life of the communities they serve.
In this episode of the FDIC Podcast, we sit down for a final time with departing Chairman Jelena McWilliams to reflect upon her tenure leading the FDIC during a challenging time for our financial system.
With the explosion of financial technology in the marketplace, how can we make certain that as our banking system adopts these new technologies, it remains inclusive and accessible to everyone, including the UN-banked? In this episode, FDIC Chief Innovation Officer Sultan Meghji discusses the ‘fairness of Fintech’ with Chris Brummer, director of Georgetown University's Institute of International Economic Law.
In an increasingly digital world, how can banks make certain their customers are who they say they are? FDIC Chief Innovation Officer Sultan Meghji discusses how the FDIC and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) are working to improve digital identification, reduce identity-related crime, and preserve confidence in the digital banking environment.
