Fintech Xchange ’25 brought together industry leaders at the prestigious Stena Center for Financial Technology and the University of Utah, in collaboration with U.S. Bank, to explore the future of Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) and the evolving banking landscape. Throughout the event, thought-provoking conversations unfolded, featuring a dynamic lineup of experts who shared their perspectives on the innovations shaping the financial sector.
One highlight from the event was the engaging dialogue between our CEO & President, Chris Black, and hosts Jason Henrichs and Jason Mikula of Fintech Business Weekly. Their conversation traversed through a range of topics, from navigating the regulatory landscape influenced by the new administration to harnessing the catalytic power of innovation within today’s rapidly evolving financial sphere.
Chris showcased the transformational journey of Thread Bank, a fintech-infused community bank with roots tracing back to the historic Civis Bank established in 1906. Under new leadership in 2021, Thread embarked on a revitalization path by adopting an industrialized approach to BaaS, culminating in its official launch. By extending beyond geographical confines and focusing on scalable, resilient models, Thread actively collaborates with strategic partners to effectively mitigate risks and maximize the benefits of partnership banking.
