Webinar Recap | Beyond Traditional Deposits: Strategic Opportunities with Stablecoins for Community Banks

We recently hosted a webinar with Infinant and Vantage Bank on strategic opportunities for community banks with stablecoins and tokenized deposits. As bank M&A increases, community banks must innovate or risk being swallowed up or left behind. During the webinar we got deep into how banks can use tokenized deposits, the advantages they bring, and how to ensure they enter this space compliantly. You can find the full webinar video below, along with our key takeaways.

Key Takeaways

1. The Fed's Green Light

At the recent Payments Innovation Forum, Governor Waller made it clear that stablecoins and deposit tokens are welcomed as part of the future of payments. This regulatory endorsement is no surprise to Jay Leal, CIO of Vantage Bank, who walked us through how they are running real pilots with their regulators knowledge and buy-in, building a consortium model to help other community banks participate, and proving out the economics.

2. The 10% Breakeven Rule for Community Banks

The economics of tokenized deposits for community banks are simple: move just 10% of your wire payments onto tokenization and you break even on the technology investment. Everything after that adds directly to your margin.The infrastructure sits alongside your existing core, so you can deliver cost-effective payments to your customers without overhauling your systems.

3. Four Things That Change for Compliance Teams

In a world of smaller transactions happening constantly, there are four things banks need to think about:

  1. Verification becomes absolutely critical.Just because the money is moving faster does not mean the verification should!
  2. Transaction monitoring needs to happen in the authorization loop.
  3. There's room for innovation in first line control providers again.
  4. How victims of scams get reimbursed needs to get resolved.
