Nubank's Ethan Eismann: You have to love your customers fanatically for them to love you fanatically (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nubank spent thirteen years building one of the most loved financial brands in Latin America, growing past 140 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. This month, that brand entered the US for the first time, launching Nu Global alongside a dedicated US product built around a Nu Account and a no-annual-fee credit card. Ethan Eismann is the executive tasked with making that experience work. As Nubank's first Chief Design Officer, reporting directly to founder and CEO David Vélez, E
Over and Underhyped: The banking trends we’re getting wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the second episode of The Editors’ Room, we flipped the format around. One trend we think the industry is overhyping, and one that isn’t getting nearly enough attention. Managing Editor Sara took the overhyped side: the race to become a customer’s primary financial relationship.

Venture banking 3.0: How Stifel is rebuilding trust after Silicon Valley Bank (opens the original)

Most banks seem to chase small business customers as one segment among many. Live Oak Bank was built around a bet that specializing beats generalizing — and it started about as narrow as a bank can start, lending only to veterinarians. Today, Live Oak has grown that thesis into 40 verticals, holds the top spot among all SBA 7(a) lenders by dollar volume, and has done it all without a single branch. My guest is BJ Losch, president of Live Oak Bank. Live Oak has never had a physical location, yet
“Amy has the what. I help with the how”: Inside Bank of America's data and AI partnership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amy Avery, Managing Director, Analytics, Modeling and Insights, took her job at Bank of America because of a number. When she interviewed at Bank of America, she was told that the bank interfaced with, at the time, 67 million clients. "Gosh, that's so much information," she remembers thinking. "Think about what you could do with that.” She started in January 2020. Two months later, the pandemic made that abstraction very literal: the bank suddenly needed to know, in real time, how its customers
