The FCB Ep. 11 Michele Alt, Klaros

Until recently virtually no fintech companies were interested in a bank charter. It was just back in 2016 that  SoFi ran a Superbowl ad with the "Don't Bank. SoFi" tagline. Now, they are looking to become a bank. Square and LendingClub have joined SoFi as approved banks (via different routes) and there are many applications that are still pending. So, I thought it was time to talk bank charters on the podcast.   Our next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Michele Alt, a co-founder and partner at Klaros Group. We spend a lot of time discussing the various options for fintech companies and we delve into some of the unique ways fintech companies are pursuing bank charters today.
