Customer-First, Modular Banking Built for Speed

Against the backdrop of the iconic Bonneville Salt Flats, where speed records are broken and boundaries are pushed, Colton Pond joined me to interview three visionary banking leaders who are breaking through the traditional limitations of legacy core banking systems. This unique setting perfectly mirrors the conversation's theme: the need for financial institutions to accelerate their modernization journey and adopt a modular approach to the future.

In this compelling episode of Banking Transformed, Kelli Keough from SoFi, Chris Black from Thread Bank, and Raphael Reznek from Mascoma Bank share their real-world experiences transitioning from monolithic legacy systems to specialized, modular architectures. They reveal why treating deposits, lending, and wealth management as distinct domains isn't just a technical decision ... it's a competitive imperative that can make product launches 40% more efficient.

Whether you're a banking executive navigating modernization challenges, a fintech professional exploring infrastructure options, or simply curious about the future of financial services, this conversation offers practical insights from leaders who've successfully transitioned from legacy to modern, API-first platforms.
