In this special episode of SPPI-TV, Southwest Public Policy Institute President Patrick M. Brenner joins Brandon Vogt on News Radio KKOB to discuss SPPI’s latest report, Swipe Right: How Comparison Shopping Tools and Lead Generators Revolutionize Consumer Access to Products and Services.
Together, they examine how platforms like NerdWallet and Credit Karma provide real value to consumers by streamlining access to credit, particularly for those underserved by traditional banking. Patrick walks through the personal experience that inspired the report, highlights the growing threat of federal regulatory overreach, and makes the case for preserving the freedom to choose in a rapidly evolving financial marketplace.
This is a fast-paced, insightful conversation about consumer empowerment, digital innovation, and the future of fintech.
Don't miss this episode if you're concerned about rising regulation and shrinking financial options.
