As technology rewrites the rules of consumer finance, new entrants are challenging long-standing models of banking and credit. In Part I, Daniel Eberhard reveals how KOHO is building a path toward reinventing everyday banking, designing products that meet consumers where they are and redefining trust in financial services. In Part II, Affirm’s Michael Linford examines the next frontier of consumer credit—flexible payments at scale—and the opportunities and risks that come with embedding finance into everyday life. These conversations probe what’s next for financial services in an era where convenience, transparency, and technology converge.
