Bank Nerd Corner welcomes Jason Henrichs, CEO at Alloy Labs Alliance.
Having appeared on Breaking Banks numerous times over the year, Jason returns the favor to commemorate the New Year by ranting, reflecting and resolving with Kiah. Jason and Kiah catch up about their personal approach to resolutions before moving onto how banks should think about the work ahead of them in 2026.
Jason shares the largest challenge facing banks in the Alloy Labs consortium, and they break apart what’s frustrating for us when we hear about banks’ ambitions to launch stablecoins or use artificial intelligence.
They also spend some time discussing the difference between strategy and strategic planning and how not being focused and strategic can drag decision-making and due diligence. Jason also talks about what banks still don’t get about fintechs, despite the years of partnership.
