Fintech Founder, Community Banker, Technologist (with ImpactFI's Christian Ruppe) | Bank Nerd Corner

Bank Nerd Corner welcomes Christian Ruppe,  Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at ImpactFI. Christian brings an interesting perspective to banking. He founded a fintech in college to help students save money, and ended up selling to banks — an industry he knew nothing about at the time. After selling the company, he spent six years at two banks, learning the ins and outs of financial services and getting up close to the tech stack powering community banks. That credibility now shapes how Christian advises clients at ImpactFI, which helps community banks negotiate core, debit, and card contracts and build realistic technology strategies. He shares with Kiah what he learned about the complexity of banking's operational plumbing as well as the psychology of how bankers make decisions.  --- Fintech Takes Banking is the weekly newsletter for bank execs who get it.
