Banking 2025: Industry Experts Map the Path Forward

Banking Transformed with Jim Marous

Traditional financial institutions face mounting pressure from fintech disruptors, big tech companies, and evolving regulatory frameworks. The rise of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms, embedded finance solutions, and AI-driven services fundamentally alters how financial products are delivered and consumed.

To explore these changes and better understand how banks and credit unions must prepare, we're joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by two leading voices in banking and fintech evolution: Brett King, renowned futurist and bestselling author, and Ron Shevlin, Chief Research Officer at Cornerstone Advisors.

Together, we discuss how technological advancements, changing consumer behavior, and market forces are reshaping the future of financial services. The conversation covers the evolution of primary banking relationships, the impact of embedded finance, and how traditional institutions can compete in an increasingly digital marketplace.

My guests also offer insights into which organizations are best positioned to succeed in 2025 and beyond.
