The Banking as a Service (BaaS) market was valued at $18.6 Billon in 2024 and is only expected to grow as companies compete for space in people’s digital wallets. BaaS offers a chance for digitally mature banks to expand their customer base with low effort by serving as a sponsor bank to digitally native platforms, e-commerce brands, ride hailing, device loans and more.

Join this panel of BaaS leaders to discuss lessons learned on:

• Creating a profitable revenue model to spread costs and profits across the bank, network, processor, and the outside company’s (e-comm, nonfinancial brand etc.) from the outset.
• Adopting and/or building APIs to provide more seamless integration with third party payment and wallet services.
• Ensuring partnerships are fully compliant with jurisdictional rules and operate with appropriate licenses.
• Working closely with processors as program managers to facilitate seamless authorizations, and other complex processes between partners.
• Building a digital first brand that reduces overhead and appeals to new customers less likely to visit branches

Crypto is no longer a passing trend. With an administration signaling openness to crypto and stablecoins, the space is seeing a surge in investment and new entrants. As the market grows, it's more important than ever for leaders to understand how to spot real opportunities—and steer clear of unnecessary risk.

Join a leading crypto expert as they discuss recent real-world cases and share practical strategies for navigating the evolving crypto landscape. Topics include:

• Negotiating strong and steadfast fintech partnerships to enhance your current capabilities or provide novel offerings.
• Looking at customer behavior to see how people are already using, bitcoin, stablecoin, blockchain etc.
• Evaluating the must haves in your crypto roadmap to provide safety and value to your customers while setting the bank up for continued success.
