One Bold, Cancer-Fighting Computer Scientist Is Creating Consumer-Based Financial Visualizations w/ Brandon Dewitt

Payments Innovation

It would be easy to chalk Brandon’s passion into something driven by his near-death experiences. But that’s only half the story.

Brandon Dewitt is CTO at MX, a company that grew from the merging of his own company, MyJibe. At his heart, he’s a computer scientist. He wants to help people solve real-life problems, by separating out those things computers do well to help people with their lives.

But a while back, he found out he had over a dozen tumors. The docs gave him 30 to 90 days. That was over 4 years ago.

On this episode of the Payments Innovation Podcast, Brandon discusses his passion for consumer-friendly, computer-driven financial analysis built for the everyday person.

What we talked about:

• Everyday people need a different financial visualization
• Visibility for consumers
• Showing a consumer’s “trajectory,” with colors and graphs, not just the exact numbers
• Consumers don’t want to look at their own numbers
• The banking industry is becoming more consumer-focused
• Banks actually want to do what’s best for the consumer
• Brandon’s beating more than cancer
• Financial services is really good at reducing risk
