The competitive landscape is shifting, and banks must address their technology blind spots in order to stay in the game. Fintechs are increasingly capturing new consumers, and the bank or credit union down the street is no longer the main competition, says Lee Wetherington, senior director of corporate strategy at Jack Henry. And if banks want to earn Generation Z’s business, Wetherington says they need to focus on three key things: debit cards, account opening and wealth management technology. 

Topics discussed include:
• Banking Gen Z
• Measuring the Impact of Tech
• Plugging Your Bank’s Data Deficits
