Trevor Tanifum, FS Vector: Banking as a Service, AI, and What Really Matters in Fintech

Fintech Family Hour

It's time to welcome another member to the Fintech Familia!

Today I’m joined by Trevor Tanifum, Principal at a long-time friend of the show: FS Vector. Trevor guides financial technology companies through regulatory, risk management, and strategic challenges. We talk about Trevor’s journey to FS Vector, what the heck he does there, AI’s impact on the industry, what folks should be focusing on in Fintech, and whether or not the industry itself is bi-partisan.

Enjoy!
