In this episode
Each episode of The Fintech Cookout will feature a conversation between Finotta’s Head of Customer Success, Quincy Kennedy, and a fellow fintech leader in the BIPOC community. You will learn about the technology that is creating a more equitable financial industry, how financial institutions are responding to this technology, and the incredible individuals behind it all.
On this episode, Quincy sits down with Joseph Akintolayo, live and in person, at Finovate Fall, a conference that showcases cutting-edge banking and financial technology. Joseph is the Founder of Philanthrolab, the founder and executive chairman of Renaissance Innovation Labs, and the Founder and CEO of Deposits, a cloud based fintech platform that offers banks and brands an easy to use, turnkey solution for engagement, modernization, and best-in-class financial experiences such as payments, mobile apps, and lending — whether you can program or not. Basically, Deposits makes creating a digital bank as easy as creating a website on Wix.
