“That structure mirrors how a bank is organized internally rather than how a client experiences the relationship.”

“A generational wealth transfer is moving trillions of dollars toward Millennial and Generation X beneficiaries who expect digital-first, personalized experiences, and WealthTech competitors are setting a new bar for streamlined digital experience.
