How Do I Get My Tech Partners to Integrate With Each Other
Aaron Long, Head of Client Development, Zest AI
"If you want to go fast, go alone! If you want to go far, go together!" This famous quote is fitting for a variety of different aspects in life, including the fintech world. Your main software products — i.e. your core, your LOS, your online banking providers, etc. — are all owned by private equity companies. To maximize shareholder return, companies charge for integrations. New technology upstarts choose a very different approach: these young and innovative companies combine efforts and help each other along the way to be most valuable. If startups like us show up together, we are bigger and can go further. This session will go into more depth on how to choose software products that seamlessly integrate with each other to give credit unions a unique advantage. Credit unions that embrace partnerships with upcoming software companies will outgrow and outperform their peers.
