In this episode, we dive deep into the disruptive changes reshaping the industry, explore the potential impact of the new administration’s regulatory agenda, and debate what it will take to balance innovation with consumer protection. Tune in for a forward-looking discussion on what’s next for fintech lending in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
