Welcome back to Model Citizens: AI Compliance for Banks and Fintech Lenders, a six-part miniseries from the Fintech Takes podcast in partnership with FairPlay.

With FairPlay’s Kareem Saleh (Founder & CEO) at my side, we unpack: how can banks and fintechs build fair, compliant lending systems in a time of regulatory uncertainty?

In episode 3, we’re digging into compliance in the age of AI; an area that isn’t always top of mind for builders in fintech, but absolutely should be.

Both of our guests today — Chelsea Keegan (Chief Compliance Officer at Flex) and Eli Corbett (VP, Deputy General Counsel at Affirm) — have built compliance functions inside high-growth fintech companies, either in their current roles or in the past.

So we’re taking this opportunity to learn from their experience (what they’ve seen, what they’ve learned, and how they’ve approached compliance).

Together, we unpack the new realities of legal risk in fintech … and why compliance can’t just be a legal function anymore

Highlights include:

How you can't compliance your way out of a bad product (why product, engineering, and legal need to be in the room together, especially when building with AI)

Regulators are watching your blog posts. Your marketing language might be Exhibit A in a future consent order

Why nimble tech, cultural fluency, and strong governance matter more than legacy checklists or canned audits

Why a fintech’s worst-case scenario isn’t the same as a bank’s (and both sides need to plan accordingly)
