Podcast Overview

Our perception of money is changing rapidly, and banks are at the center of all of it. From how we access it to how we buy to how we trust that our money will be there when we need it. Here on Bank Nerd Corner, Kiah Haslett brings on a rotating cast of expert bankers, economists, academics and more to sit down and talk about the complex dynamics shaping financial services today. Banks exist at the crossroads between risk and safety, private business and public policy and new technology and some of the oldest laws we have. If we can understand what is changing and what probably won’t, we’ll be in a better position to respond strategically. And, hopefully, we’ll understand the strange creature that is financial services a little bit better.  Subscribe to Bank Nerd Corner to get the latest episode every Thursday!

Fintech Founder, Community Banker, Technologist (with ImpactFI's Christian Ruppe)

Bank Nerd Corner welcomes Christian Ruppe,  Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at ImpactFI. Christian brings an interesting perspective to banking. He founded a fintech in college to help students save money, and ended up selling to banks — an industry he knew nothing about at the time. After selling the company, he spent six years at two banks, learning the ins and outs of financial services and getting up close to the tech stack powering community banks. That credibility now shapes how Christian advises clients at ImpactFI, which helps community banks negotiate core, debit, and card contracts and build realistic technology strategies. He shares with Kiah what he learned about the complexity of banking's operational plumbing as well as the psychology of how bankers make decisions.  --- Fintech Takes Banking is the weekly newsletter for bank execs who get it.

BNC Squared: Banking and the Biggest Story in the World

In this June episode of Bank Nerd Corner Squared, Kiah and Fintech Takes' Alex Johnson dive into the latest stories in the worlds of banking and fintech — before taking an extended detour into the world of soccer. On the agenda: Bill Pulte's brief second job, a debate about how to interpret nascent signs of life at the CFPB, and the latest developments on the stablecoin and tokenized deposit front. Then they get to the real meat of the show: the biggest sporting event in the world, FIFA World Cup 2026. Alex enjoys sports, but his appreciation for "the beautiful game" still has some room to grow. So Kiah takes him to the pitch — and makes one!

Kraken vs. the Bankrupt Trust it Says Stole its Money

In this latest episode of Bank Nerd Corner, Kiah welcomes Justin Steffen, a partner at Barack Ferrazzano, for a deep dive into Payward Interactive v. Etana Custody — better known as Kraken versus the bankrupt trust company that allegedly lost its money. The conversation goes well beyond crypto drama and has implications for the broader financial space. There are reconciliation and comingling concerns. There is an alarming bankruptcy claim about customer funds. There’s a lesson about the importance of vendor management and what Steffen calls “the Steffen Principle:” bad things plus money equals lawsuit.  --- Fintech Takes Banking is the weekly newsletter for bank execs who get it.
