WHY FINTALK

Welcome! I'm Mack Wallace and I lead Product at a rapidly growing, Washington DC-based fintech. In previous lives, I have also been a financial regulator (CFPB), led product development at a big consumer bank (Capital One), and was an innovator at a machine learning/AI fintech start up (Zest AI, previously ZestFinance). I've always been keen to share my blended fintech, banking, and regulatory perspective with others.

​

I founded Fintalk News with a mission of going beyond the headline and sharing lessons learned and perspectives from the field - that means hearing from the people putting in the hard work and sharing how to view an issue from the different vantages.

​

This weekly blog and email newsletter shares insights and knowledge from the very frontier of consumer finance (eg fintech) and it’s regulation (eg regtech). That means there will be a heavy emphasis on what’s new: data, machine learning, and technology.
