On today’s episode, we turn our attention to fintech regulation. Jason Mikula, publisher of Fintech Business Weekly and managing director at 312 Global Strategies BV, a consulting firm focused on financial services product strategy, talks about the challenges banking as a service (BaaS) providers and their partners face as regulators pay more attention to banks’ relationships with third parties. We also ask Mikula to take the role of "Pretend CCO" at a fintech company as he lays out his top priorities for 2023 given potentially new regulatory scrutiny. Listen to the discussion with our host Rob Rubin.
