It can't take your relationships — unless you let it. In the first half of 2026, two dozen companies lined up to become banks, nearly matching last year's total, but almost none of these filings mean the same thing. In this Banking Insights episode, Jim Marous hands financial institutions a decoder ring: the type of charter a company chooses tells you exactly which part of the business it's coming for, from stablecoin settlement to the whole customer relationship to the point of purchase. Using Circle, Nubank, Klarna, and Mission Lane as illustrations, Jim explains why the regulatory door swung open, why the charter is the least valuable thing these companies are actually buying, and the three moves every bank and credit union must make now to remain the primary financial institution a charter can never grant.
