Our Opinion

This team-up between Rapid Finance and Q2's Digital Banking Platform shows a new trend: regular banks and new financial companies are joining forces. We're seeing more partnerships, buyouts, and competition between banks and fintech firms as this continues.

This changing scene will probably speed up the use of open banking and API-based services. This will create a more connected, but also more complex, financial world. To keep up, alternative lenders need to stay flexible and keep coming up with new ideas. This is crucial not just to stay relevant, but to help shape the future of finance.
