Money Isn't Everything
Who says banking must only be about the bucks? Money isn’t Everything, a show published two Thursdays each month, focuses on the broader view of how banking integrates with and influences the lives of consumers and businesses. From financial health to the many unexpected places traditional banking is appearing, the show explores the fringes of change in the industry with early-stage startups, academics, journalists and creative fintech thinkers. It's hosted by Mary Wisniewski, Cornerstone's editor-at-large and long-time fintech reporter.

How H&R Block Is Building Its Money App For The Masses
You likely know the brand H&R Block. But more than two years ago, the tax-preparation chain launched Spruce: an app that connects to a debit card and savings account where funds are held at its bank partner, Pathward.
Today on the show, Mary sits down with John Thompson, vice president of product management for financial services at H&R Block. They chat about how consumers find Spruce (including at physical locations) some of the major misconceptions of financial health and the challenges of when faster (and slower) payments occur. John also talks about his love-hate relationship with the tax refund.
