Are old-school acquisition strategies still valuable? Research and Markets report that 64% of global consumers used fintech platforms in 2020, up from 33% in 2017.    Long story short, the answer is definitely, but to really get ahead, you need to embrace smarter acquisition strategies to capture your booming user base.   Why make the switch?    Acquiring new customers is crucial, but let's be real—it can be expensive. That’s why more fintech companies are turning to affiliate marketing for cost-effective scalable solutions.   Adopting affiliate marketing is a no-brainer when it comes to your acquisition goals as it offers numerous benefits that can help you reach your long-term objectives, including: 💡 Targeted Reach: Partner with affiliates who have niche audiences, and watch your product reach the right people effortlessly. 💡 Cost-Effective: You only pay for results, so you get a higher return on investment without the hefty price tag. 💡 Affiliate Insights: Affiliates are your secret weapon. They provide invaluable insights into audience behavior and preferences—use this to sharpen your strategy. 💡 Data-Driven Success: Leverage affiliate data to optimize content and skyrocket your results.

"Credit data infrastructure (rails and bureaus) weren't designed for the convergence of traditional and alternative data. The more data that comes into the system, the better off everybody is. " - Christian Widhalm, CEO, Bloom Credit Christian's point is such an important one for financial health as well as access not only to credit, but to payments and many other not-to-be-taken-for-granted services in the overlapping banking-commerce economy that helps improve the lives of people and their families. Great to talk about that as well as #integration #underwriting #talent #deposits #lending #regulatory and other #fintech and #banking topics with Christian, BankTech Ventures' head of bank technology Pam Kaur, and Finovate research analyst Julie Muhn in the hall at Finovate Spring in San Francisco.

"[What's needed is] hiring the right #talent to manage some of this new technology. Banks have not been the hotspot of tech and innovation and that's reflected in the hires." - Pam Kaur, BankTech Ventures Pam's point is spot on. For all the tech and funding, so much of the industry challenge is still the people and the leadership of talent. To me, the question is as simple as would you ever recommend that your son/daughter, niece/nephew, or friend go to work for that bank or fintech?
