Treliant Takeaway:

As the COVID-19 coronavirus continues its destructive path throughout the world, digitally native FinTech companies and banks are benefiting from having an established digital-first infrastructure that enables them to maintain operations remotely, while offering a full suite of products and services and eliminating the need for a customer to enter a brick and mortar branch.
