Intro

Kate Flocken, a principal at FS Vector, joins RegFi co-hosts Jerry Buckley and Sasha Leonhardt to discuss the increased scrutiny from Congress and regulatory bodies in response to the rapid growth of fintechs, from niche startups to major industry players. Kate highlights the challenges new fintech entrants encounter, the importance of proactive engagement with regulators, and the evolving role of innovation offices within regulatory agencies.

The conversation also explores the complexities of legislative and regulatory processes, especially in a divided government, and the potential shifts in congressional financial services committee leadership based on upcoming election results.
