Money Isn't Everything
Who says banking must only be about the bucks? Money isn’t Everything, a show published monthly, focuses on the broader view of how banking integrates with and influences the lives of consumers and businesses. From financial health to the many unexpected places traditional banking is appearing, the show explores the fringes of change in the industry with early-stage startups, academics, journalists and creative fintech thinkers. It's hosted by Mary Wisniewski, Cornerstone's editor-at-large and long-time fintech reporter.

The Case for Friction: Rethinking Speed in Banking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Slowing down payments could be a selling point. On the show, Mary talks with Erik Beguin, CEO of Austin Capital Bank, about why friction can be a feature, not a flaw. Plus, they unpack the rising wave of fraud, how security and convenience clash and why it’s time to measure success by protection, not just profits.
