VentureTech Launch(pod)

In this latest episode of VentureTech Launch(pod), we're joined by Kian Sarreshteh, CEO of Cryptofi. Kian shares his passion for tackling a significant challenge in the credit union sector: the loss of deposits and members to major self-directed investing platforms. He brings attention to the rise of platforms like Robinhood, which have rapidly evolved to encompass a full range of financial services, drawing members away from traditional credit unions.

Cryptofi is addressing this issue by integrating with digital banking providers to allow credit union members to effortlessly buy, sell, and hold a diverse range of assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies, directly through their banking apps. Kian explains how this integration maintains member deposits within the credit union and offers an instant transaction experience, enhancing member satisfaction and trust.

He also highlights the importance of providing options for credit unions to either white-label or co-brand the service, catering to their branding preferences. This episode sheds light on how Cryptofi is revolutionizing the way credit unions can compete in the financial market by offering modern, trust-based investment services that align with member needs and preferences. Kian's vision for Cryptofi underscores the potential for credit unions to reclaim their position in the rapidly evolving financial landscape.
