Author: IntraFi March 11, 2026 Duration: 38:30

Kathy Kraninger has seen the banking system from both sides of the regulatory divide. The former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and now president and CEO of the Florida Bankers Association joins the show to discuss whether Washington is undergoing a regulatory "recalibration" including everything from whether banks will be required to collect citizenship information to the growing challenges banks face from fraud, scams, and rapidly evolving technologies like artificial intelligence. 


Behind every financial headline and regulatory shift, there's a deeper story about how banks operate and adapt. Banking with Interest, produced by IntraFi, digs into that story. Hosted by Rob Blackwell, an award-winning former journalist with over twenty years of expertise, this podcast goes beyond surface-level news to explore the intricate policy changes actively reshaping the banking landscape.

You'll hear thoughtful conversations with key figures and experts, offering a forward-looking perspective on pending challenges that haven't yet made the front page. It’s designed for professionals within financial services, from executives to analysts, who need context as much as they need information. The discussions are substantive yet accessible, turning complex topics into understandable insights. If you're looking for a reliable source to navigate the intersection of finance, business, and politics, this podcast serves as an essential guide. Tune in for a nuanced take on the forces defining the future of banking.
