Last night, Santander Founder and CEO, Troy Wright, appeared on the BNN (Business News Network) program, The Disruptors, hosted by digital pioneer, Bruce Croxon, and market trends specialist Amber Kanwar.
Santander had the opportunity to “pitch” to BNN’s audience, who can then vote for the Top Disruptor of the season. In the “pitch analysis” clip below, Amber Kanwar and Bruce Croxon review Santander.
While Bruce shared a bit of skepticism about whether the growing online lending industry as a whole could take on United State’s big banks, he noted Santander’s alogirthm as a key differentiator, setting us apart from the competition.
Disruption? More Like Evolution
Despite offering a disruptive technology platform that is quickly becoming a game changer in the fintech space, Troy Wright and Kevin Clark (President at Santander) are quick to point out that Santander is not so much a disruption, but rather part of a natural evolution in financial services – complementary to the products and services offered by the big banks.
Wright and Clark wrote about this in a recent editorial for the Globe and Mail entitled The fintech threat to traditional banking: It’s evolution, not revolution.
