In this Compliance That Makes Sense episode, Yana talks about where to find FinTech board members and how to pay them. FinTech startups often struggle to try to find the right board members. There seems to be some confusion about who they should be, how much you can expect from them, and what their fees should be. Listen as Yana breaks it all down for you, from who needs a board of directors to the difference between the executive board and the supervisory or independent board and so much more.
