Hey all, Jason here. In this episode, I had the chance to chat with Current cofounder and CTO Trevor Marshall. Trevor and I had the chance to discuss:
Why Current built its own banking core from the beginning, and the differentiation and efficiencies it has continued to provide over time vs. relying on legacy providers
How owning its core has allowed Current to build integrated, unique products in the market, such as its secured charge card, the Build Card, which gives members a single balance to view and manage
What are the upfront costs and complexity of building a core early, and why it pays off over time
How a unified data layer across products is critical for building personalized experiences on the platform, and the opportunity Trevor sees for AI to make them even better
How Trevor is implementing AI to create efficiencies, increase output and scale the way Current’s teams work
Where Trevor sees AI having the most potential in fintech, from personalization and customer support to reading customer intent
The opportunities and risks of consumer AI agents and agentic payments, and what they could mean
And much more!
