Two new interviews discuss why innovation is a priority for community banks.
Details:
In a new BankNews interview, ICBA Chief Innovation Officer Wayne Miller discusses the growth of ICBA’s ThinkTECH Accelerator programs, adding that top community banker concerns now include artificial intelligence, stablecoins, fraud, and customer experience.
On the BankTalk podcast, ICBA Senior Vice President of Innovation and Product Strategy Justin Dunmyer says innovation isn’t necessarily a technology—it’s a cultural mindset.
