Is EV on ICE?

EV has become a buzz word - and 2024 has brought on a new set of challenges for the primary players in the marketplace. Join us for a discussion around what the future holds for EV manufacturers – we’ll share our thoughts around the rationale for Volkswagen’s recent investment in Rivian, VinFast’s US expansion and the scrutiny faced by Tesla shareholders for approving a $45 billion pay deal for CEO Elon Musk while their share price was down nearly 30% in 2024.

Are old-school acquisition strategies still valuable? Research and Markets report that 64% of global consumers used fintech platforms in 2020, up from 33% in 2017. 
 
Long story short, the answer is definitely, but to really get ahead, you need to embrace smarter acquisition strategies to capture your booming user base.
 
Why make the switch? 
 
Acquiring new customers is crucial, but let's be real—it can be expensive. That’s why more fintech companies are turning to affiliate marketing for cost-effective scalable solutions.
 
Adopting affiliate marketing is a no-brainer when it comes to your acquisition goals as it offers numerous benefits that can help you reach your long-term objectives, including: 

💡 Targeted Reach: Partner with affiliates who have niche audiences, and watch your product reach the right people effortlessly.

💡 Cost-Effective: You only pay for results, so you get a higher return on investment without the hefty price tag.

💡 Affiliate Insights: Affiliates are your secret weapon. They provide invaluable insights into audience behavior and preferences—use this to sharpen your strategy.

💡 Data-Driven Success: Leverage affiliate data to optimize content and skyrocket your results. Make every insight count!

"[What's needed is] hiring the right #talent to manage some of this new technology.   Banks have not been the hotspot of tech and innovation and that's reflected in the hires."   - Pam Kaur, BankTech Ventures

Pam's point is spot on.   For all the tech and funding, so much of the industry challenge is still the people and the leadership of talent.   To me, the question is as simple as would you ever recommend that your son/daughter, niece/nephew, or friend go to work for that bank or fintech?    

Great to chat about #leadership , #integration #underwriting #deposits #lending #regulatory and other #fintech and #banking topics with Pam,  Finovate research analyst Julie Muhn, and Bloom Credit CEO Christian Widhalm in the hall at Finovate Spring.  Check it out (link in the comments).  And, Pam's session with Jason Henrichs, Barb MacLean, and John Waupsh was one of the greats.
