Automated Endorsement Analysis
Ingo Money CEO Drew Edwards spent some time with PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster talking about distributed banking — aka banking-as-a-service — and how it differs from open banking. Edwards said that open banking is mostly about moving information, not about moving money between a consumer, her bank, and a third party, like the Robinhood app — at least for now. That data exchange makes it possible for a FinTech to step into the middle of the transaction but also makes the bank little more than the “dumb pipes” that serve as the funding source.

Predicting an economic recovery in today’s COVID-19 environment is far more complex than reading traditional individual economic indicators. As seen by the recent run in the stock market, there are certain market components somewhat disassociated from traditional indicators, i.e. unemployment rate, GDP growth, etc.
In a little over a month, OrboGraph will be hosting it’s first virtual conference since 2014: ORBOIMPACT Virtual Conference: AI Innovation for Check Payments, Check Fraud, and Healthcare Remittance Automation.
Rachel Woolley, global director of Financial Crime at Fenergo, tells FinTech Futures that penalties against financial institutions have come “fast and furious” over the past few years.
Check writers and depositors have become accustomed to a next day or two day check clearing process for the majority of items.

There are many other examples.
