Inside the Fintech–Bank Partnership Playbook: What Works (and What Doesn’t)
In this episode of EYE ON Fintech, host Nick Chiappetti sits down with industry powerhouse Stacy Bishop—CEO and Founder of Selling Fintech and Fintech Partnership Strategist—to unpack what really drives successful (and unsuccessful) bank–fintech partnerships. Drawing from her unique perspective across both fintech founders and sponsor banks, Stacy shares candid insights on why partnerships fail, how fintechs can better prepare for sponsor bank relationships, and what it takes to build scalable, long-term programs in today’s evolving ecosystem. From ecosystem complexity to trust-building and future trends, this episode delivers practical guidance for anyone navigating embedded finance. Episode Highlights Why partnerships fail—and how to avoid itMisaligned expectations, unclear success metrics, and unsustainable pricing are some of the fastest ways to derail fintech-bank partnerships. Sponsor bank readiness requires realism, not hypeBanks expect clear business cases, conservative forecasts, and operational transparency—not just investor-style growth projections. Success depends on the full fintech ecosystemBeyond the bank, fintechs must navigate a complex network of processors, networks, and providers—where every player impacts program success. Trust and relationships still win dealsBuilding credibility across “layers and players”—especially through real-world connections—is critical to gaining traction and navigating the space. The future: evolution, not replacementWhile more fintechs may pursue charters, embedded finance and sponsor banking models will remain essential as demand for seamless financial experiences continues to grow.

Keeping an EYE ON AI: Beyond the AI Hype—Building ROI‑Driven, Data‑Led Financial Services
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept in financial services—it’s here. But moving from experimentation to real, measurable impact is where many institutions still struggle. In this episode, Erin Earl, Industry Executive Advisor for Financial Services at SAP, sits down with host Sarah Grotta, Chief Fintech Officer at FinWise Bank, for a practical, no‑nonsense conversation about what it really takes to make AI work in banking. Drawing on decades of leadership experience across global banks, fintechs, and enterprise technology, Erin cuts through the hype and shares what financial institutions actually need to focus on to turn AI investments into business outcomes. Listeners will learn: Why so many AI pilots fail—and how to avoid “pilot purgatory” by anchoring every initiative to a clear business case and ROI. How banks of all sizes can prioritize the right AI use cases, with real examples where mid‑sized and community institutions are outperforming larger peers. What “AI‑ready data” really means, and why data foundation—not models—is the biggest determinant of AI success. How to structure ownership and governance for AI, balancing innovation, risk management, and regulatory expectations in a highly regulated industry. Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to scale what’s already in production, this episode delivers practical guidance for building data‑led, ROI‑driven financial services—today and for the future.
