On today’s podcast episode, we discuss how banks are adjusting their ad spending in a world with high rates, economic turmoil, and a shift to digital advertising.
• In our “Headlines” segment, we dig deep on a recently published Insider Intelligence report covering our forecasts for ad spending by US banks and credit unions.
• In “Story by Numbers,” we discuss how fewer mortgages are affecting banks' net interest income and what that means for their marketing budgets. We also examine Ally Bank’s increased ad spending.
• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we talk about how large banks are doubling down on digital ad spending while smaller institutions are cutting their spending, which could lead to the eventual demise of smaller traditional banks. Tune in to the discussion with host Rob Rubin and our director of forecasting Oscar Orozco.

On today’s podcast episode, we discuss how finserv digital marketers are incorporating credit marketing, even in top- and mid-funnel campaigns.
• In our “Headlines” segment, we chat about the role of marketing as a revenue generator in banking—specifically, an article we published in August with results from an American Banker Association survey that stated 72% of marketing execs don't believe revenue generation is a part of marketing’s role.
• In “Story by Numbers,” we examine the results of digital campaigns that revolve around credit marketing and the ROI in creating a unified, full-funnel marketing strategy.
• In “Pretend CMO,” our guests have to thread together a multifaceted digital-only marketing campaign and discuss how it attributes ROI to the campaign's different digital channels.
Tune in to the discussion with host Rob Rubin, our analyst Tiffani Montez, and Aundra Thompson, director of product strategy and strategic planning for marketing solutions at TransUnion.

Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
On today’s podcast episode, we examine how banks build and use trust to win new customers. Here’s a look at what we’re talking about:
• In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss recent data breaches at banks and question what the difference is between a bank's security breach and a breach at a partner company’s system.
• In “Story by Numbers,” we focus on personalization and reveal if it successfully engenders trust or just seems creepy.
• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we ponder what would happen if banks were required to report to customers when they shared their personal information with third parties and how it would impact customers’ trust and banks' marketing campaigns. Tune in to the conversation with host Rob Rubin and our analysts Grace Broadbent and Tiffani Montez.

The Banking & Payments Show: Digital Account-Opening Trend | Aug 8, 2023
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
On today’s podcast, we are talking about digital account-opening trends, who’s opening bank accounts digitally, and what they want or expect when going through that process. Here’s a look at what we’re talking about this week:
• In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss how in-flight deposits and Gen Z will drive account openings in 2023 and to what extent new account openings are the result of high deposit rates and an incentive-laden environment.
• In “Story by Numbers,” we examine how being able to set up direct deposit when consumers open checking accounts is extremely important and the importance of deposits being protected.
• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we suppose there’s a new US banking regulation requiring all banking products to be applied for and opened online. We debate (nicely) how the industry dynamics would change if everything in banking were digitized and moved online.
Tune in to the conversation with host Rob Rubin, managing principal of financial services consulting at EPAM Systems Alex Jimenez, and our analyst Tiffani Montez.

The Banking & Payments Show: Gen Z Unboxed—LOLFinTech! | Jul 11, 2023
Tuesday Jul 11, 2023
Tuesday Jul 11, 2023
On today’s episode, we discuss how Gen Zers are different from older generations in that a lot of their financial services product consumption will be embedded within non-financial service-specific experiences. In our "Headlines" segment, we examine how convenience plays a major factor into Gen Z decision-making. In "Story by Numbers," we discuss Gen Z’s use of Apple Pay in consumer finance and if consumers can find competitive prices while using embedded finance experiences. And in "For Argument's Sake," we debate if more than 10% of Gen Z or Gen Alpha will go their whole lives without establishing direct relationships with financial service providers. Listen in to the conversation with host Rob Rubin and our analysts Grace Broadbent and Eleni Digalaki.

Tuesday Jun 27, 2023
On today’s episode, we discuss the environmental impact of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency mining. In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss the deal Bitdeer, a Bitcoin-mining company in Texas, had with the state when the power grid became distressed during the winter of 2021 and how crypto must overcome its reliance on old technologies that pollute the environment. In “Story by Numbers,” we discuss a 2022 report conducted by climate and economic researchers that estimates Bitcoin mining may be responsible for 65.4 megatons of carbon dioxide per year, comparable to the entire country of Greece. And in “What If,” we examine what would happen to crypto if governments around the world required carbon tax credits in order to operate and restrictions were put in place for the amount of energy crypto and blockchains consume. Join the conversation with host Rob Rubin and our analysts Jenna McNamee and David Morris.
