Bank Nerd Corner Banker’s Hours with Vantage Bank’s Shawn Main
Bank Nerd Corner welcomes Shawn Main, chief business architect at Vantage Bank, for this episode of Banker’s Hours.
Banker’s Hours explores the personalities in banking for some real talk on important, interesting and fun topics.
Many banks in the United States are wondering about the potential implications of digital assets and stablecoins for their institutions. Not Vantage Bank. Shawn shares Vantage Bank’s journey in the digital asset space. Shawn tells Kiah how the $5 billion bank unit of VBT Financial Corp. learned about blockchains, stablecoins and smart contacts, identified partners to work with and brought regulators and customers on board. They also discuss what the future of money could look like and Vantage is forming a consortium in response.
