Bank Slate: Arrivals | Departures

From CFO shakeups to new credit union chiefs, this week’s leadership changes touch nearly every corner of the industry. Here’s who’s stepping up, stepping down, and stepping in.

TGIF, Bank Slaters,

Before we review the latest hirings and head into the weekend, here’s a quick look at what’s coming Monday — and it’s a good one.

We’re featuring a sharp Q&A with Chris Rigoni, head of partner banking and payments at Axiom Bank, who discusses what banks should be thinking about as they look to work with fintechs. He offers a clear-eyed take on what actually moves the needle.

We’re also revisiting one of the biggest undercurrents in banking right now: the rise of stablecoin-focused trust banks. With applications piling up and major institutions signaling plans for digital asset platforms, the line between traditional banking and tokenized finance is getting thinner by the week.

See you Monday.
