Frequently asked questions
Who runs Bankers Helping Bankers?
Bankers Helping Bankers was created and is operated by FedFis, the fintech data company led by Founder and CEO Dave Mayo. Mayo has framed the platform as a direct defense of the community banking model. The site does not list a separate management team for BHB itself, indicating it operates as a FedFis initiative.
How does Bankers Helping Bankers source its data?
The platform uses algorithms and live-install data rather than self-reported vendor information. Its FinTech Directory claims to be the only such directory built by data to ensure completeness, incorporating app-store metrics such as number of installs, app age, and ratings. The Vendor Selector AI uses regulatory 'three live installs' standards to match banks with compatible technology vendors.
Is Bankers Helping Bankers a fintech company, an association, or something else?
It is a bankers-only social-plus platform with embedded data tools, created by a fintech data firm. It is not a trade association because it does not lobby or set policy, and it is not a vendor because it does not sell software or take referral fees. It functions as a sponsor-funded cooperative intelligence layer for the community banking industry.
Does Bankers Helping Bankers cost money for member banks?
No. The platform is kept free for verified bankers through a premier sponsorship model. Sponsors are acknowledged on the site. The free-to-banker model is a structural feature designed to keep the platform exclusively for banks and insulated from vendor sales pressure.
What stage of fintech relationship does the platform support?
The platform supports a wide range of fintech engagement, from initial vendor selection and due diligence to education on Banking-as-a-Service and sponsor-bank models. Testimonials indicate that banks use it to evaluate new business lines such as BaaS before committing to a specific partner or strategy.
