ABA’s board has directed us to consider additional oppor- tunities to invest in fintech companies that we expect to have an important impact on banking. We’ll specifically look for those that have a strong business model in a growth sector, that help banks in efficient and innovative ways and that benefit you. We’re doing this for the same reason you are exploring new technologies to serve your customers. Andbecausewe knowhow hard it is to focus on the future when the present has challenges of its own. Banks are used to technology trans- forming the way we do business—that’s not new. (After all, banks were fintech before fintech was cool.) It’s the pace of innovation that’s new—and it won’t stop. As the head of Google’s R&D arm tells TomFriedman in the book "Thank You for Being Late," the days of static stability are over, and we must learn to live in a new state of “dynamic stability”—the kind of balance you get when riding a bike, not trying to stand still on one. ABA and your state association are committed to helping you find and keep that balance, and to helping you keep pace with change, so that your banks can continue to grow and succeed.
