• In “Story by Numbers,” we focus on personalization and reveal if it successfully engenders trust or just seems creepy.
• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we ponder what would happen if banks were required to report to customers when they shared their personal information with third parties and how it would impact customers’ trust and banks' marketing campaigns.
Tune in to the conversation with host Rob Rubin and our analysts Grace Broadbent and Tiffani Montez.• In our “Headlines” segment, we discuss how in-flight deposits and Gen Z will drive account openings in 2023 and to what extent new account openings are the result of high deposit rates and an incentive-laden environment.

• In “For Argument’s Sake,” we suppose there’s a new US banking regulation requiring all banking products to be applied for and opened online. We debate (nicely) how the industry dynamics would change if everything in banking were digitized and moved online.
