Renewal season has long been a nightmare for compliance teams—chasing Key Persons for personal financials, compiling transaction reports, and filing hundreds of documents across 50 states. The process is tedious, manual, and high-stakes, with compliance professionals carrying the weight of their companies’ ability to operate on their shoulders. But not anymore. Enter the real heroes: compliance leaders like Cassandra Schwedfeger of Bilt Rewards and Teresa Bruce of Funding Circle US (now IBusiness Funding). Instead of letting renewals consume their teams, they found a better way—one that eliminates redundant paperwork, massive spreadsheets, and never-ending email chains. With Brico, they automated their renewals, streamlined collaboration, and freed up time to focus on what truly matters: building strong, compliant businesses. We’re thrilled to share their stories in our latest webinar, "Making License Renewals Cheaper, Faster, and More Joyful," hosted by Brico's own Head of Compliance, Christina Luk. If renewal season has ever felt overwhelming, this short listen will change the way you think about it.

I chatted with Penny Crosman at American Banker about the current environment for fintechs. Summary: now is a great time to start a company, and if you do, give us a call! https://lnkd.in/gdCHq9tv

Last week I wrote in American Banker on how the next president can encourage real innovation in our financial services industry to make our system work better for the middle class and small businesses. For starters, it's time to appoint actual leaders of the our regulatory agencies. Without Senate appointed leaders, who enjoy bipartisan support, our regulators are hobbled in their ability to plan for the long term. It would be particularly nice if they had some experience in a "tech role". It's time to start using technology to better understand the risks that create systemic crises. It is also time to open banking. This means adopting rules that give consumers control over their data, while also making the banking industry more transparent. We need more players, not less. The next administration must seize the opportunity to reorient America's banking regulators on the problems we face in 2024, not on what we faced in 2008. It's time to bring the financial services industry forward. Let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/g6hF97bD
