Under the Hood

In this episode, we explore global banking. What is it? What are the various approaches? What's working, and what isn't. What changes are needed for hyper-scale? Plus the challenges of building healthy relationships with government regulators in each country and mitigating against international fraud.

Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the architecture for global banking, what exactly that means, and the new pattern in customer behavior we've been seeing.

Joining in the discussion are Colton Seal, Co-Founder & CEO, Routefusion, and Lucas Vargas, CEO, Nomad.

Topics Discussed:
  • Why are we talking about this today - why does this problem matter? How big is it?  Who is hurting/who is being impacted by this?
  • How is the identity and fraud infrastructure/architecture built today?
  • Is it working?  What’s good about it, what isn’t?  What are the trade-offs?  How can it be improved, how would you go about building this?  What are the architectural choices you would make and why?
  • Is a new solution needed?  What should the next architecture look like and why?  What are trade-offs and benefits?
