Send us Fan Mail How does a lawyer - by education and employment history - become a top executive at fintechs? Good question. But here’s another one: how can a fintech help credit unions win members for savings accounts paying in the vicinity of 4% APR? On the show is Alastair Wood , CEO of Raisin , a fintech that helps credit unions market innovative products - high yield savings included - to attract new members. Understand, Raisin does essentially all the lifting involved in marketing and opening new accounts for new members. Memberization included. Raisin, by the way, is relatively new to the US market. But it has a long history in Europe. This episode starts with Wood explaining why, just maybe, a trained lawyer is an ideal leader for a fintech, especially one operating in a highly regulated environment. Wood, by the way, traces his hands on involvement in fintechs and credit unions back to a multi year stint at Silvur , whose CEO, Rhian Horgan is a past CU 3.0 Podcast guest. Listen up.
