讲座介绍：

Despite a burgeoning literature on Fintech lending that has been occurring from outside the financial industry, less is known about the adoption of Fintech by banks and its implications. We fill this gap by investigating banks’ partnering with Zelle. We document a network effect in banks’ decisions to partner with Zelle as they are positively affected by Zelle penetration in the market that the banks operate. Zelle partnering is followed by higher growth in partnering banks’ deposits and, consequently, small business lending, in the market with greater Zelle penetration. For identification, we rely on (1) estimations of cross-branch variations within a bank to account for bank-level lending opportunities and (2) an exogenous shock to a bank’s Zelle-partnering status due to bank mergers. Overall, our findings are consistent with the interactive nature of banks’ technology adoption and the positive impact of Fintech on banks’ deposit taking and small business lending.
