BIG NEWS! The number of @FintechTakes creators just doubled. And the Fintech Takes Network is starting a new chapter. My friend and super bank nerd @khaslett has joined Fintech Takes to launch a weekly bank-focused newsletter and podcast! Here's what that means for FTT 👇

In short: Fintech Takes isn't just a newsletter anymore. It's a network. A place where fintech's best and brightest can learn, have real conversations, and connect in-person. This growing Network finally gives us the infrastructure to add someone like @khaslett. Why Kiah?

Because Kiah is smarter and more curious about banking than anyone I know. The first time I met her, she treated me to an impromptu lesson on AFS vs. HTM classification for bonds and why it's important for banks. For context, this was 3 months before SVB failed. Enough said.

For the last 2 years, Kiah and I have co-hosted the podcast Bank Nerd Corner (BNC). We've covered everything from the BSCA, CRE lending, Fed master accounts, regulators as referees, bank M&A, BaaS, credit card rewards, and potatoes. Now, we get to go deeper. And get nerdier.

Kiah's curiosity, passion, and generosity has been critical to the growth and utility of the Network. So have all the operators that have joined us so far. I'm so excited about this new chapter. P.S. If you have nerdy bank topics or questions that you want Kiah to explore in her newsletter or podcast, drop them below👇👇👇
