Pathward's President Anthony Sharett spoke with Evan Sparks, editor-in-chief of the ABA Banking Journal, as well as host of the publication’s podcast.
During the interview, Sharett discussed how Pathward works alongside its partners to expand offerings that enhance financial inclusion and reach the unbanked and underbanked. He also talked about new areas where Pathward is branching out with its new Solutions for Financial Institutions and much more.
“What we found, Evan, is that many of these smaller FIs (Financial Institutions) frankly did not have the capital or, perhaps, just did not have the strategy to bring these products to the market, so it’s that gap in the market that we’ve found. Through our framework and our platform, we’ve been able to reach customers, but for us they may not have had these products and solutions that they need.”
Sharett also explained how the bank has shifted how it works with partners to be a part of the product development process from the beginning as a foundational component of the partnership.
“At Pathward, we want to be the trusted platform that helps our partners grow, scale and thrive, and I think it’s through our secret sauce of co-innovation with them that was really exciting to me and really aligns with my background,” Sharett shared during the interview, giving insight about what differentiates Pathward and what he enjoys about working for the national bank.
