“…incumbent financial institutions have been able to catch up faster than many expected, treating the proliferation of fintechs as a supermarket for capabilities that allow them to use acquisitions and partnerships to rapidly deploy new offerings.”

Key Considerations with Digital Lending
• Strategic alignment – Is this offensive or defensive?, hold the loans and service or sell them?; drive fee income, cross‐sell efforts
• Product strategy – rates, terms, structure vs. competition and “credit box” (implications for approval rate and customer experience)
• Fraud – what does fraud look like in a digital lending environment?
• KYC/CIP – documented resources or undocumented, analytical resources?
• Servicing/collections – how do we handle out‐of‐footprint customers?
• Marketing – Existing customers and/or prospects? Identify target market

ICBA ThinkTECH NetworkPowered by FinXTech Connect
• Is a curated, online directory of technology companies that are strategically partnering with financial institutions
• ICBA wanted to create an experience for community bankers which would be similar to Yelp, Consumer Reports or Angie’s List
• Partnering with Bank Director/FinXTech to help provide this solution to our membership
• Launched in 2019
ICBA ThinkTECH AcceleratorIn partnership with The Venture Center in Little Rock, Ark.
• Partnership to create a “community bank only” focused accelerator to work with fintech companies helping to solve community bank specific problems as part of our mission
• Began the program/process in October 2018 and are now starting the second year of the program
• Provides a structured process to innovation and allows us to focus purely on community bank issues and involve our members
• Provides a feeder system of early stage companies/fintech's to bring on new corporate members
• Provides interaction and investment opportunities for ICBA and our community bank members

ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator• How does the accelerator program work?
• Focused on solving community bank problems/issues and potential future opportunities
• Selection committee consist of member banks and ICBA senior leadership• Select 6‐10 fintech companies for the accelerator program • ICBA will invest in the in the program participants and help fund the accelerator program
• The Venture Center will run their 12‐week program in Little Rock, AR• We’d cycle in ICBA subject matter experts and approximately 20‐40 community banks as part of the program
• ThinkTECH participants would demo as part of the ThinkTECH showcase at ICBA LIVE and in a local community event in Little Rock
Summary and Conclusions• For innovation/fintech to be successful, it must be interwoven as part of your culture and strategy at the bank.
• There is no “one‐size‐fits‐all” approach on innovation organizational structures for banks.
• Fintech partnerships (“Fintegration”) have already become a standard operating procedure for community banks.
• While fintech’s failed to disrupt banks, they did raise the pace, volume and complexity of change.
• Emotional consumer experiences and “high‐tech, high touch” are the go‐to strategies for banks trying to balance digital vs. human interactions.
• Change and education will be “constants” going forward for innovation in banking.
