We have a special “Take Five” video for you this time, the topic is Fintech, and it might warrant a little explanation first. We had Gerry Tsai from the San Francisco Fed come to St. Louis recently to educate our examiners on Fintech: what is it, who are the players, what are the benefits / risks, what should we be aware of, and more. It was a robust discussion with lots of education for our staff. And we wanted to share a condensed version of that with you, so we asked Jim Fuchs to interview Gerry on the main Fintech points. Fintech is in the news a lot, and there is a lot more to be learned, but this video covers the basics and should provide a nice foundation for the work ahead.
